HazMat Emergency Response Team Training Summary:
Based on the applicable elements from National Fire Protection Association ( NFPA ) 470 Hazardous Materials/Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Standard for Responders, Hot Zone's Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Team (HazMat) Training is specifically tailored to train private sector employer's Emergency Response Teams to be able to respond to Hazardous Material (HazMat) release emergencies within your organization.
