Hazardous Materials Training

First Level

 The first level of Hazmat training is the first responder or awareness level. At this level, you typically are the first to discover a hazardous material spill and begin the emergency sequence. You must notify the proper authorities and wait for them to arrive. At this level you should know how to identify hazardous materials and what risks they pose.

Second Level

 The second level of Hazmat training is the operations level. At this level, you will be one of the first people to respond to the incident after it has been reported. You will help to protect the area, including the environment and people, and know how to prevent exposure.


Third Level

 The third, or technicians level of Hazmat training is for those who have finished first- and second-level training and are interested in a more hands-on role. You will learn to prevent the further spread of the hazardous material and stop its release.

Fourth Level

 The fourth and highest level of Hazmat training is the incident commander. Incident commanders are in charge of the hazardous material release site. They must know how to implement the employer's Incident Command System and Emergency Response Plan, according to Hazmat Solutions.
