Course Objectives
After completing this course, participants will be able to perform the duties of awareness and operations level personnel when responding to HazMat/WMD incidents:
Analyze the incident to identify the problem and the behavior of HazMat/WMDs and containers present.
Plan an initial response, develop an incident action plan and communicate that plan in accordance with standard operating procedures/guidelines (SOPs/SOGs) and available equipment and personnel.
Implement the planned response while observing operations and outcomes.
Use PPE at HazMat/WMD incidents.
Defensively, control products at HazMat/WMD incidents.
Evaluate the progress to assess the effectiveness of the actions taken to stabilize the incident, and protect people, property and the environment.
Performance Measures
Participants must demonstrate mastery of the course objectives by completing the post-test, and hands-on skills practice and performance evaluations.
The post-test includes 50 multiple choice items with items requiring the use of hazardous materials references — ERG, NIOSH Pocket Guide, safety data sheets, other locally used references.
Performance evaluation includes mandatory completion of PPE and emergency decontamination evolutions plus three randomly selected product control evolutions.
Certification
Once a participant completes the course, including the performance (skills) evaluation, and scores above 70% on the written exam, they will receive an IAFF certificate with a Pro Board® seal.
The IAFF will then submit the participant’s name to the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications (Pro Board® registry) for certification at the Awareness, Core Operations, and Mission-Specific PPE and Product Control levels. Pro Board® certification holds:
Recognition for demonstrating proficiency
A permanent record of the accomplishment
Transferability/portability of qualifications, as reciprocity means Pro Board certification will be recognized by fire departments nationwide.
