Course Description

This class is pending approval.  If you have additional questions, please contact Stephen Solomon at Stephen.J.Solomon@dos.nh.gov.

The HazMat Technician course is designed specifically for fire and rescue personnel who may respond to incidents involving hazardous materials (hazmats) and/or weapons of mass destruction (WMDs).

This course is a 10-day (80 hour), participant-centered, instructor-led training program for first responders.  There is no charge for this class.

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.
