Response personnel who provide an initial response to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances as part of an emergency or daily job function for protecting personnel, property, or the environment. These individuals assume a more aggressive role than a first responder at the operations level by approaching the point of release in order to plug, patch or otherwise stop the release of a hazardous substance. Personnel with previous experience or at the first responder operations level will benefit from this course.
