Does your job require you to be involved in emergency response to incidents where hazardous materials or chemicals are involved?
For many people, the answer is yes. You might be a Police Officer, Paramedic, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Public Works employee, or even a member of an Emergency Response Team (ERT) at a site where chemicals are found. If you do respond to any sort of release of a hazardous material, OSHA requires that you take one of five levels of training:
- First Responder Awareness (FRA)
- First Responder Operations (FRO)
- Hazmat Technician
- Hazmat Specialist
- Incident Commander
When it comes to emergency training in the San Francisco Bay Area, Safety Compliance Management, Inc. has taught major corporations and governmental agencies.
