Hazmat Awareness

Signet North America’s customizable Hazmat/Dangerous Goods Awareness course is designed to provide an educational foundation regarding safety issues of the various types of hazardous materials organizations deal with on a day-to-day basis. 

The goal of this course is to bring personnel to, at a minimum, the recognized United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Hazardous Materials First Responder Awareness Training Level (1910.120(q)(6)(i)).  Per this legislation, first responders at the awareness level are “individuals who are likely to witness or discover a hazardous substance release and who have been trained to initiate an emergency response sequence by notifying the proper authorities of the release. They would take no further action beyond notifying the authorities of the release.” 


Topics discussed will include, but not be limited to:
Hazmat/Dangerous Goods responder Training Levels
The 9 UN Hazard Classes with pertinent and relevant chemical terminology
Sources of Assistance to include Placards, Labels, NFPA 704 Diamond and use of the NAERG with exercise
Organizational Emergency Response Plans
 

Students who successfully complete the course will be awarded a certificate of completion from Signet North America
