The College delivers highquality accredited training to First Responders andIncident Commanders in HazMat and Chemical,Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (explosives)(CBRN(e)), either at the customer’s location or at ourown exclusive facility at Moreton-in-Marsh.Each of our HazMat courses are developed, deliveredand assessed by in-house, sector competentspecialists and are designed to meet the requirementsof the National Operational Guidance for HazMatincidents.Realistic scenariosThrough the incorporation of practical training, theCollege is able to test the application of a learnersknowledge, skill and understanding of HazMats andCBRN(e) using realistic and detailed scenarios.Our 300-acre training site provides the perfect locationto create complex or bespoke incidents that learnerscould face in the real world such as chemical spillages,terrorist incidents or illicit drugs labs.2 telephone: 44(0)1608 812984Latest technologiesBy linking directly with manufacturers from acrossthe world, the College is able to offer learners aninnovative training experience by utilising a widerange of state-of-the-art technologies including,but not limited to, personal electronic dosimeters,wet chemistry field kits, decontamination tents andenvironmental protection equipment.
Hazardous Materials s Materials First ResponderDuration: 5 DaysAccreditation: JOIFFCourse overview and learning outcomesscenarios including, but not limited to:Fire and rescue services are responsible, underlegislation and regulations, for developing policies andprocedures, and to provide information, instruction,training and supervision to their personnel aboutforeseeable hazards and the control measures usedto mitigate the risks arising from those hazards. The aim of this course is to provide learners (IncidentCommanders) with the necessary knowledge,understanding and experience to attend incidentsinvolving hazardous materials and to bring them toa successful conclusion, or manage them in a safeand effective manner, until the arrival of a SpecialistOfficer/Tactical Advisor who possesses a higher levelof knowledge and experience in the field of hazardousmaterials. With the increased number of hazardous materialsincidents attended by UKFRS over recent years,such as acid attacks, home-made explosives, illicitdrugs labs, domestic carbon-monoxide and individualchemical exposures, we have a responsibility toensure that the Incident Commanders mobilised tosuch incidents are prepared to deal with the situation.By the end of the course, learners will have anunderstanding of: The foundation for HazMatsThe UN Classification of HazMatsCLP and CHIP regulationMaterial propertiesSignage labelling and placardingIncident scene managementInitial operational responseJESIPInformation retrieval and sourcesEnvironmental protection. AsbestosAcetyleneIndividual chemical exposuresFly tipping involving hazardous materialsRadiationTransportation of HazMats on rail lines and highwaysIllicit drugs labsCommercial processesCarbon Monoxide.Who should attend?This course is suitable for all Level 1 IncidentCommanders and initial on-scene officers in charge.The four and a half day course includes one day oftheory input followed by three full days of scenariobased training followed with an in-depth debrief andfeedback to complete the course. Specialist input isgiven by Gloucestershire Constabulary CBRN(e) teamwho will also provide feedback from their perspective,on some of the scenarios.How is the course assessed and accredited?Learners will receive verbal and written feedback ontheir performance as incident commanders; in turnit will support the learners continuing professionaldevelopment and maintenance of competence.By completing this course each learner will receive anFSC certificate, the workbook ‘journal’ and feedbackas part of their continuing professional development.This is not a pass/fail course and therefore notmandatory for promotional development.During the course, learners will attend fire groundsales@fireservicecollege.ac.uk 3
Hazardous Materials AdvisorDuration: 15 DaysAccreditation: JOIFFCourse overview and learning outcomesIn recognition of the latest developments in theworld of hazardous response incident managementand new national guidance, we have updatedour award-winning HMEP course. This prepareslearners to undertake the role of a HazMat Advisor(HMA) as a specialist support function at emergencyincidents. The role of the HMA continues to evolveand is closely allied with other aspects of incidentmanagement, including: environmental protection,detection, identification and monitoring and also areasof national resilience, such as CBRNE and counterterrorism.In a multi-agency response situation the HMA willperform a vital safety critical role in the integratedemergency management of an incident, whilst alsobeing able to advise at incidents, such as criminalactivity, involving hazardous materials.In order to develop leaners to be able to competentlycarry out this role, specialists are brought in to assistwith the delivery of this course from; National Chemical Emergency CentreMet OfficeCompass Environmental ConsultancyPublic Health EnglandGloucestershire Constabulary CBRN(e)Quicksilver Special Effects.How is the course assessed and accredited?This course consists of a forty question pre-courselearning package based around the NOG Foundationfor Hazardous Materials and a three week residentialcourse at our unique site, one of the worlds’ largestoperational fire and rescue training facilities.The course includes a combination of theorysessions, table top scenarios, role-play and fireground scenarios utilising the latest equipmentfrom Thermo-Scientific and Vetter products. Thesummative assessment for the course is in the formof two written papers; one is based around chemistryand information gathering, the second is based onproviding hazardous materials tactical advice to anIncident Commander.Additions to the 2019 HMA course included training inemotional response and stress management, plumemodelling and Chemdata and Chemsafe training fromthe National Chemical Emergency Centre.After successful completion of the course, learnerswill be able to: I was very impressed with the enthusiasmand subject knowledge of the instructors.All too often I have experienced courses where itseems instructors are reading from powerpointsand may not have a detailed understanding behindthe subject. This was certainly not the case withthe instruction and input on this course.There was a very good standard of instruction, oneof the best courses and input I’ve had in 25 yearsof service.4 telephone: 44(0)1608 812984 Operate in a specialist support function and providetactical advice to incident commandersCarry out a risk assessment specific to the role ofhazmat officerRetrieve, interpret and apply Chemdata to hazmatincident scenariosAdvise on risk control and environmental protectionmeasures for incidents involving materials in all UNHazard classesUtilise knowledge and lessons learned from recentincidents of significance.Use updated skills application in the role of hazmatofficer.
Hazardous Materials Advisor RefresherDuration: 3½ DaysAccreditation: FSCCourse overview and learning outcomesThe course provides a three year revalidation of theHMA qualification. The aim is to update underpinningknowledge and skills and create an awareness ofcurrent issues within the field of hazardous materialsand environmental protection. In turn it will supportthe learner’s continuing professional development andmaintenance of competence.Topics covered will include an overview of the following: National Operation Guidance Foundation forHazardous MaterialsIncident scene managementWorking in a specialist support role to the IncidentCommanderSelection of PPE and assessing contamination riskDecontamination strategiesInformation retrieval systemsInterpretation of chemical dataEnvironmental protection protocols and techniquesRadiation protectionExplosivesIncident case studiesUpdating of current issues. measures for incidents involving materials in all UNHazard classesUtilise knowledge and lessons learned from recentincidents of significanceUse updated skills application in the role of HazMatofficer.Who should attend?Specifically designed for existing HazMat officers ina flexible duty role or dedicated specialist supportfunction, this course is suitable for existing HazMatofficers who initially qualified or who have notrevalidated their skills in the last three years.The revalidation process provides currency ofunderpinning knowledge and skills application forexisting HazMat practitioners.How is the course assessed and accredited?Revalidation is by written assessment.
