The purpose of the Hazardous Materials First Responder Operational course
is to provide participants with an improved capability to respond to hazardous
material events in a safe and competent manner, within the typical resource
and capability limitations at the operational level. The first responder at the operational level is trained to respond in
a defensive fashion without actually trying to stop a hazardous material
release. Their function is to contain a release from a safe distance,
keep it from spreading, and prevent exposures. The first responder may
be the support portion of an in-house response team, firefighters or other
off-site response personnel. Topics
