Course Description

First Responders at the Awareness Level are individuals who are likely to witness or discover a hazardous substance release and who have been trained to initiate an emergency response sequence by notifying the proper authorities of the release. They would take no further action beyond notifying the authorities of the release. In compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 (q) regulations, this training is required for individuals who are likely to discover or witness a hazardous substance release and who will be responsible for notifying personnel for an emergency response action.

At conclusion of this course, students will have a basic understanding of what hazardous materials are, how they can be identified and what to do if they are the first on the scene of a hazardous materials incident. An overview of the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) is presented so that HAZWOPER First Responder Awareness personnel can identify potential sources of hazardous materials, their containers and release mechanisms.

Plan States (approved by U.S. OSHA) must have standards at least as stringent as the Federal HAZWOPER training requirements. These Plan States may have additional training requirements.

Certificates

Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a total of 3 certificates. An email with an e-certificate will be sent to you or your designee immediately upon completing the course and the original certificates (8×10 and pvc wallet card) will arrive in the mail.

Support

Includes U.S. Based support. An experienced and highly qualified instructor is available to you throughout the training process. Our toll free hotline or email will allow access to some of the finest instructors in the U.S.

Duration

Note: OSHA requires a list of competencies that must be met rather than a minimum time requirement for emergency response refresher training. Our course allows you to login and logout at any time increment in order to fit your schedule. When you logout, the course will be bookmarked so you can begin where you left off. The study timer will also accrue your time and will begin where you left off in the course.
