Course Description

This course is a 10-day (80 hour), participant-centered, instructor-led training program for first responders.  Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to perform the following at hazardous materials/WMD incidents using the IAFF’s risk-based response process – APIE:

  • Analyze the incident to determine the complexity of the problem and potential outcomes.
  • Plan a response including developing response objectives, identifying potential response options, selecting the personal protective equipment (PPE) required and a technical decontamination process, and developing an IAP.
  • Implement the planned response consistent with local emergency response plans and/or standard operating procedures by performing the duties of the hazmat branch; donning, doffing, and working in PPE; and performing control functions and decontamination.
  • Evaluate the progress to determine the effectiveness of control and decontamination functions identified in the IAP.

This course is designed to develop a level of competency that will allow the student, operating with other technician-certified individuals, to approach the point of release in order to plug, patch, or otherwise stop a release. The course will also examine the concept of Incident Command to allow the Technician to be able to work effectively in such a system. The course is designed to meet the training responsibilities as outlined by OSHA, CFR 1910.120 and NFPA 472 2013 edition for the Technician Level.
