Hazardous Materials Advisor Refresher Course

Five days of refresher training. We recommend that Hazardous Materials Advisors refresh at least every three years.

About this course

We recommend that operational Hazardous Materials Advisors (HMAs) refresh their training at least every three years. This programme is a good way to make sure advisors regularly update their skills and competencies.

We review the theoretical principles and knowledge first, then ask learners to provide advice in realistic scenarios. The focus is on common incident types such as asbestos, acetylene, corrosives and more.

Learners are expected to be currently serving HMAs, so a certain amount of underpinning knowledge is assumed. The instructors assess this. The refresher mirrors the initial HMA course, with less emphasis on teaching underpinning knowledge and more on refreshing it and updating core competencies.
