About This Course

Following the completion of all training content and achievement of passing scores on all exams, students will need to complete a brief evaluation and confirm his/her identity. After doing so, the student will have access to the course completion certificate.

This course is divided into 8 sections. It is recommended that students take each section in sequential order, though this is not required.

Course Exams

This course has a final exam based upon the content covered in the course. The exam consists of 10 questions randomly selected from a larger pool of questions. A score of 70% or better is required to pass the exam. Students who do not pass the exam the first time may retake the exam as many times as necessary in order to pass.

Course Objectives

The objective of this Using the Emergency Response Guidebook course is to train emergency responders in the proper and effective use of the most recent Emergency Response Guidebook.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Explain the use of each of the colored sections;
  • Identify hazardous materials in the guidebook using different criteria;
  • Establish safe distances for specific hazardous materials; and
  • Much more.
Additional Training

Properly trained emergency responders should have a solid understanding of how to use the Emergency Response Guidebook. This book can aid in the identification of hazardous materials, and will provide safe handling methods, safe distances, and more. All of this information is critical in emergency responses involving the release of hazardous materials and can save lives.

Check with your employer to ensure you have the appropriate training for your job and, if applicable, your role as an emergency responder.

Additional Training

Additional training may be warranted depending on the expected roles of emergency responders and their level of involvement. This may include site-specific training, additional emergency response training, and training in the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) specific to the hazards.

Additional training in the use of any personal protective equipment or clothing used as part of emergency response is required and should be provided by your employer.

Workers must receive additional training, when required by Federal, State, or local regulations, on the specific hazards of their job. Training providers should be used to ensure credibility and augment a company's training program. Therefore, in addition to the training provided by an outside party, a student should receive site-specific training supplied by his or her employer. This training should target the company's unique approach to hazard prevention, including the use of site-specific equipment, health and safety policies, and emergency procedures. As a rule, this company-specific training should be well documented.

The bottom line in ALL SITUATIONS is that employers are required to ensure that their employees are adequately trained to do their job.
