The Eastern Ontario Emergency Training Academy’s (EOETA) will be offering NFPA 1072 Hazardous Materials Operations – In-class October 25, 26, 27, November 2 & 3, 2024

NFPA 1072 Hazardous Materials Operations
The Hazardous Materials Operations course focuses on the recognition of a hazardous materials emergency, personnel safety, hazard assessment, and the notification of higher skilled emergency responders or technical response teams. Students will become familiar with the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) and learn about the mandate and authority of the Canadian Transport Emergency Centre (CANUTEC). Students will explore topics such as placards, containers, and materials involved; determine whether materials have been released, PPE, emergency decontamination, and the evaluation of the surrounding conditions. By collecting hazard and response information, students will develop a “risk-based response” plan.
Students must provide their own turnout gear. To maximize firefighter safety, students are required to bring their own SCBA and two air cylinders. Information and guidance on safely transporting SCBA and cylinders to and from the OFC are included in the pre-class information package for this course.
Hazardous Materials Operations will also include the sign off of NFPA 1072 Chapter 5 Mission-Specific Sections Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (Section 6.2) and Product Control (Section 6.6), 2017 Edition.
