Hazmat Technician Level

Class Overview

In 2013, the Training Division staff finalized the process and will introduce certification for Hazardous Materials: First Responder Technician Level of the NFPA 472, 2013 Edition of the Standard. This certification level should not be confused with the Hazmat Operational Level testing that is conducted during Fire Fighter I or Fire Fighter II certification.

The Hazmat Technician Level certification process is independent of any other certification level. However candidates are required to have current Operations Level training before the Application for Candidacy will be processed. The requirement and process to meet this prerequisite will be defined later in this section.

The Training Division is utilizing the Jones and Bartlett Hazardous Materials: Managing the Incident 4th Edition manuals for the Technician Level course. This program meets all aspects of the NFPA 472 Standard, 2013 Edition. Many other publishers, States, and private companies have also developed curriculum and reference materials that meet the requirements of the Standard; and any of these materials will provide the student with sufficient knowledge and expertise to apply for candidacy.
