Hazardous Materials Awareness (8 hrs)
This course presents the basic concepts and techniques related to hazardous
materials first response. It is for those individuals who in the course
of their normal duties, may be first on the scene of an emergency involving
hazardous materials. First Responders at the awareness level are expected
to recognize and identify a hazardous materials incident, protect themselves,
call for trained personnel, and secure the area. This course was designed
to meet the requirements for awareness level training as outlined in
OSHA 1910.120, (adopted by the State), and NFPA 472. Both the New Mexico
Law Enforcement and Firefighters Academies recognize it as a course for
Hazardous Materials Awareness Level I training.
Recruitment includes all public safety response personnel.
Hazardous Materials Operations (24 hrs)
For those individuals who are dispatched to releases or potential releases
of hazardous materials as part of the initial response to the incident
for the purpose of protecting nearby persons, property, or the environment
from the effects of the release. They are trained to respond in a defensive
fashion without actually coming into contact with the product. Their
function is to contain the release from a safe distance and keep it from
spreading. This course builds upon the information presented in awareness
training and provides concepts on incident analysis and procedures, usage,
and related considerations, following the basic chronology of a hazardous
materials incident. This course was designed to meet the requirements
for Operations level training as outlined in OSHA 1910.120. It is recognized
by the New Mexico Law Enforcement and Firefighters Academies as a course
for Hazardous Materials Operations Level II training.

the review of major incidents that have taken place around the nation.
Instruction includes the introduction of a seven task approach to critical
incident response, use of the Incident Command System, a hard look at
critical incident stress and an overview of Hazardous Materials.
