Brief Description
NFA Chemistry of Hazardous Materials: Fire Chem I
Full Description
Chemical Hazard Analysis for Risk-Based Response

This course is designed to prepare responders, planners and allied professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to analyze hazardous materials/weapons of mass destruction (WMD) incidents using the risk-based response (RBR) process that utilizes facts, science and circumstances. Primarily focused on the product involved, this analysis will also incorporate information concerning the container, environment and cause. This course supports response personnel and allied professionals seeking specialized training in advanced chemical risk assessment and analysis. The student will be able to effectively communicate the hazards and associated harm identified in a timely and concise manner to make recommendations concerning control zones, personal protective equipment (PPE) and decontamination methods to develop a safer RBR.

Through an interactive, student-centered approach, students will conduct a product hazard analysis and create communication strategies by:
Conducting an initial product hazard analysis for multiple products using limited information.

*Using the periodic table to identify the general hazards associated with a material     for developing an initial product hazard analysis.

*Conducting briefings based on their hazard analysis for hazardous materials/WMD   incidents.

*Analyzing the characteristics of molecular size, polarity and shape and how these   affect the physical and chemical properties of a material.

*Conducting a product hazard analysis to support an RBR process in a hazard   situation.

TO RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE: Students must achieve a 70% or higher on cognitive exam, as well as practical skills tests.
