Public Safety Training Center

This program was designed as annual core refresher training for students who have taken a Hazardous Materials Operations (HMO) Level 472 course. The refresher provides hands on opportunities to exhibit the practical skills learned as part of that program. JHMOR also includes a mission specific training element added to the core refresher review. The primary target audiences for this refresher course are First Responders (fire, rescue, emergency medical, police, etc.) who have taken a Hazardous Materials Operations (HM0) Level 472 course. The student will review previous learned information and skills associated with NFPA 472 Chapter 5 Competencies for the First Responder at the Operational Level, and 29 CFR 1910.120 OSHA's Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response, (HAZWOPER), First Responder Operations Level. The HMORJB course consists of a HMO Core Refresher review (approximately 2 – 2.5 hours). The remaining hours of the class include a minimum of one of the Hazardous Materials Mission Specific competencies listed below. These mission specific options are provided as an ala carte menu to refresh/instruct one of the following subject areas: (1) Air Monitoring, (2) Product Control, (3) Mass Decontamination, (4) Technical Decontamination, and (5) Victim Rescue and Recovery. It is recommended you work with the requesting organization to determine which option will be instructed.
