Hazmat/WMD Self Protection for Firefighters

Biological, chemical, and terror attacks present a clear danger to those who occupy the scene. Firefighters and other first responders can be exposed to chemicals, biological agents, radioactive particles, heat, and other contaminants. Do you have an exposure control plan outlining your protective procedures?

Hazmat/WMD self protection training assists your unit in complying with national procedures and the guidelines of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Even more importantly, it will improve your ability to work safely and effectively in hazardous conditions.

Learn what protective clothing, respiratory protection, and heat protection equipment is best suited for response, and how to clean and or dispose of contaminated clothing and equipment.

Terrorism response requires a well trained crew and a well thought plan. Give your first responders the tools they need, and the tools they deserve, with this online safety training.
