COURSE OVERVIEW

Build decision-making skills beyond memorization, aligned with NFPA 470 competencies and JPRs. Students interpret chemical and physical properties to predict behavior, assess transportation, fixed-facility, and unknown incidents, and select PPE based on real conditions. Through scenario work, monitoring, sampling, and full-scale simulations, they practice decision-making, hazard interpretation, and corrective actions when situations deviate from textbook expectations.

Throughout the course, we address where technicians get it wrong: overconfidence in meters, misunderstanding chemical behavior, poor PPE decisions, and missed warning signs. Then we fix it through repetition, scenario work, and full-scale simulations that force you to make the call and live with the outcome.

This course satisfies the following requirements: OSHA 1910.120(e), OSHA 1910.120(q); NFPA 30, 45, 55, 400, 470, 472, 473, 704, 1072, 1991, 1994; ISO 17840-1:2022
