(Gregory Socks, Robert Bradley, & Chris Hawley - The Meter Guys) This dynamic and interactive session is designed for Hazardous Materials Officers and for those who aspire to lead at hazardous materials incidents. If you’ve ever found yourself trying to coordinate the “three-ring circus” that unfolds at a HazMat scene, this session is for you. Participants will explore the principles of incident management and risk-based response through engaging, hands-on activities and interactive technology that simulate real-world hazardous materials incidents. Using these tools, attendees will be guided through a variety of evolving situations that require quick thinking, sound judgment, and coordination across multiple response functions. Throughout the session, we’ll connect lessons directly to NFPA 470, Chapter 17 Job Performance Requirements (JPRs) for the Hazardous Materials Officer position.
