8-Hour HazMatIQ by Federal Resources

HazMatIQ is a training system formulated from more than 50 years of Hazardous Materials (HazMat) response experience. Traditional HazMat response is founded on the principles of industrial hygiene, organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry. While these foundations are valuable in the right setting, HazMatIQ has revolutionized first responder training by turning the focus away from mastering textbooks and onto the critical knowledge needed to make a simple decision: Can I make entry to effectuate a rescue?
