One day on field chemistry techniques that are quick and easy to deploy at incidents.
This course gives hazmat responders techniques that are quick and relatively easy to deploy at incidents. They can be used to identify which hazard categories apply to substances and environments.
Learners follow a systematic approach to identify the properties of hazardous substances. This is particularly important for completing a suitable and sufficient risk assessment. The principles also support the deployment of more complex Detection, Identification and Monitoring (DIM) equipment where confirmation testing is valuable.
The course is designed to help attendees safely obtain a representative sample of a bulk material and identify or discount certain hazard categories applicable to an unknown substance. Attendees learn the limitations of these techniques and how they can support other indicators and information sources. Participants also develop an understanding of the need to maintain forensic integrity.
