Hazardous Materials Technician HMT PER-272  | 40 Contact Hours

HMT is an enhanced version of the course previously known as, “Emergency Responder Hazardous Materials Technician for CBRNE Incidents (ERHM).”
Overview
Hazardous Materials Technician (HMT) is a five-day course that prepares Operations-level responders for Technician-level Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) certification. This 40-hour course, based on NFPA® 1072: Standard for Hazardous Materials/Weapons of Mass Destruction Emergency Response Personnel Professional Qualifications and NFPA® 472 standards, provides participants with HAZMAT-specific response knowledge and skills, enabling them to respond safely and effectively to a suspected incident at the hazardous materials technician level. Participants receive hands-on training in donning and doffing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Levels A and B, containing leaks and drum over-packing, containing leaks in pressurized containers, and performing technical and mass decontamination. The HMT course culminates with a performance of these offensive-level tasks in an activity in which the participants apply the knowledge and skills learned in a simulated HAZMAT environment. Graduates have the opportunity to take the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications (Pro Board) and the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) exam for HAZMAT Technician certification through the Alabama Fire College.

Below are some, but not all, of the critical skill sets learned during this training program:

• Plan a response to a hazardous materials incident
• Identify hazardous material container damage
• Identify hazardous materials
• Estimate the size of an endangered area
• Terminate the incident
• Perform decontamination operations
• Don and doff personal protective equipment level A and level B
• Contain a leak in a 55-gallon drum
• Contain a leak in a pressurized container
• Contain a leak in a MC 306/DOT 406 Dome Cover

Target Audience
