Fire Service Leaders,
The Georgia Fire Academy is conducting a Hazardous Material Technician course starting on June 6, 2022. We currently have low enrollment and do not want to have to cancel this offering.
During this 10-day delivery, students will be trained to the minimum training requirements necessary to respond to incidents involving hazardous materials/WMD. Responders to these incidents are expected to perform technically advanced operations to mitigate the emergency. This course is designed to address these requirements and prepare the emergency responder to respond in a safe manner to protect themselves and their community. Topics covered include: identifying hazardous materials/WMD materials and their characteristics and toxic effects if released, PPE selection and use, tactics to confine and contain, as well as decontamination of responders and civilians.
This offering will be held at the G.P.S.T.C. main campus in Forsyth with the first week conducted June 6th – June 10 th , and the second June 13 th – 17th at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center.
