VR HazMat vs Hazard3 Training

The Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response standard, commonly referred to as “Hazwoper”, establishes the requirements for protecting workers engaged in hazardous waste treatment, disposal, remediation and emergency response involving hazardous materials. An important element of responding safely to hazardous materials releases is the effective performance of a site or scene assessment. This activity is known by many different names with the most common being Site Characterization, Size Up or simply hazard assessment and involves the collection of records, physical, visual and electronic information about the situation. Collecting and identifying this data and information along with scene hazards allows for the performance of a quality risk assessment with the goal of understanding the risk and implementing the appropriate controls to mitigate or reduce risk. Inside this app you will find 4 scenarios with activities designed to challenge the viewer and test your ability to see and evaluate hazards associated with emergency and hazardous materials releases. This app will allow you the opportunity to practice this critical activity in a safe and hazard free environment prior to moving to a physical environment where continued practice in a real world setting can occur.

The Hazard3 Training App is a companion to risk-based response training offered by Hazard3 including on-site training, webinars, blended learning, and microlearning. Hazard3 microlearning provides 5 minutes per day of training that meets and exceeds NFPA and OSHA standards. The Hazard3 Training App allows responders and investigators to access their training anytime, anywhere, including downloading training modules for off-line viewing. Agencies can create a customized microlearning pathway for their personnel by hand-selecting micro-courses from multiple categories. The micro-courses on response equipment can be tailored to your team’s brand and model including SCBA, suits, detectors etc. Main categories of training include: • Containers including tank trucks, cylinders, bulk storage tanks, and rail cars • Hazmat Tech and Ops Competencies that follow NFPA 472, 1072, and the new 470 • Incidents and lessons learned • History: Hazmat, CBRN, and Clan labs • Materials and Agents including chemicals, drugs, explosives, CWA, BWA, and diseases • Clandestine Labs including drug labs, chem/bio production, and HME • Equipment (Customised for each team including PPE, detection, mitigation, and rad) • Emergency Response Decision Support System (ERDSS) software • Strategy and Tactics including air monitoring, leak control, and more • Management and Leadership including compliance, funding, and health/safety
