This HazMatIQ course is designed to train responders on the concepts of; use, interpretation, and selection of direct reading instruments, various test strips (Fluorine, pH & KI) and identification technologies (Raman & FTIR). Attendees will participate in hands on simulations and exercises using actual products, which will produce real world responses on the detection equipment utilized during the class. Upon completion, responders will also have a greater understanding of, and the ability to, quickly and safely assess risks, select correct PPE, determine evacuation distances and take appropriate action. This fast paced, interactive one-day course, delivers intensive hands-on training incorporating solid and liquid samples.
