Training Process

This 24 Hour Hazardous Materials Technician Level III Responder course provides the training necessary to meet OSHA and DOT requirements for advanced Hazmat technician certification. Employees must complete the required hours of training to safely perform technician-level response tasks, including identification, containment, and mitigation of hazardous materials. Initial training must be completed before assuming responsibilities for direct hazard mitigation, and employees may only engage in such duties under supervision until fully trained. Recurrent training or demonstration of competency is required to maintain current certification and comply with federal regulations. Employers are responsible for ensuring that training records are maintained and readily accessible for review. Depending on job responsibilities, additional site-specific training may be required, including instruction on company procedures, specialized equipment, and emergency response protocols. Training in the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) specific to the hazards encountered is mandatory. Employers should provide supplemental training to ensure that responders are prepared for the unique hazards of their workplace, and this training should be well documented.
