HazMAT Training

Health and Safety Sciences’ HazMAT24 training teams are high-speed real world responders that have hundreds of responses under their belts. Our trainers come from fire service, law enforcement, emergency management and military backgrounds.

Health and Safety Sciences’ interactive training techniques are designed to immerse your team members into the world of hazmat response. By using comprehensive, hands-on instructional methods, HSS trains your emergency response team members using likely spill scenarios at your facilities.

To supplement class lectures, HSS’s HazMAT24 instructors introduce problem-solving case studies to further engage trainees. Each team member dons personal protective equipment and functions under the Incident Management System to perform mission critical skills.

This course involves strenuous physical activity in a high-pressure environment – HSS is proud to boast that we build responders one skill at a time.

If your organization has special hazards don’t hesitate to ask our training cadre for additional modules. HSS offers modules in Weapons of Mass Destruction, Hazmat and Marine Operations.
