Hazardous Materials Operations is an introduction to hazardous materials intended to provide the skills and knowledge necessary to recognize, identify, and remain safe in potentially hazardous environments. The course complies with the National Fire Protection Administration (NFPA) Standard 1072, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 1910.120, and the Minnesota State Fire Board requirement to complete before taking the Firefighter I examination. In addition to recognition and identification, this course emphasizes safety precautions, the effects of hazardous materials on people and the environment, and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

This course is limited to students who have obtained OSHA-approved fire gear to use in training. This includes complete turnout gear, helmet, and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a mask. Students must be able to perform physical tasks to complete course requirements.
