This dynamic and interactive course, designed for Hazardous Materials Officers — and for those who aspire to lead at hazardous materials incidents. Participants will explore the principles of incident management and risk-based response through engaging, hands-on activities and interactive technology (primarily the CAMEO Suite) 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 course, we’ll connect lessons directly to NFPA 470, Chapter 17 Job Performance Requirements (JPRs) for the Hazardous Materials Officer position, providing practical tactics, proven strategies, and confidence in your ability to lead and manage the complex, high-stakes world of hazardous materials response — all while keeping the chaos under control. This course will be conducted by four (4) instructors to provide the guidance for the practical activities and simulation cell.
