WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS?

Does your job require you to be involved in emergency response to incidents where hazardous materials or chemicals are involved? For many people, the answer is yes. You might be a Police Officer, Paramedic, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Public Works employee, or even a member of an Emergency Response Team (ERT) at a site where chemicals are found. If you do respond to any sort of release of a hazardous material, OSHA requires that you take one of five levels of training. All of the levels start with the First Responder Awareness (FRA) course. FRA personnel are those whose job requires them to respond to a release of a hazardous material, recognize the situation as one requiring specialized assistance, and call for help.

It is presented in an easy to understand format and is filled with activities. A certificate documenting compliance with the OSHA requirement is presented upon completion. For those who are already certified to the FRA level, this course would satisfy the requirement for your annual refresher course.
