What Placards Really Tell you? For CERT Team Members

March 12th | 1:30pm-3:30pm OR 6:30pm-8:30pm | ZOOM

What if you were the first on the scene of a Hazardous Material release and you didn’t have your Emergency Response Guidebook or any other resources? Basic knowledge about the placard color and symbol can go a long way to assist in protecting you and those around you.

This course contains valuable information for all levels of Emergency Responders. We will look at the US DOT placards and what they REALLY tell the first responder. What are the real hazards associated with a placarded load? What can happen if the material gets out of its container? How do I protect myself and others if a release should occur.

If you're looking for just another "Placard regulation" course, this isn't it. Upon completion of this course, you'll never look at a placard the same way again!
