Thank you for your interest in the IAFF's Hazardous Materials and
Weapons of Mass Destruction Training programs.
The IAFF's Hazardous Materials and Weapons of Mass Destruction Training
programs offer several unique advantages. Trainees learn common-sense strategies to
recognize hazardous materials, prevent or minimize exposure and defensively control
the incident. These strategies can help lower disability and workers' compensation
costs. Because the IAFF receives all of its funding from the U.S. government, it is
able to offer this curricula at no cost to your department.
Additionally, the IAFF provides a team of professional instructors
from across the country who are active fire fighters/EMS personnel/HazMat Team Members.
The curricula is taught to fire fighters by fire fighters. Current U.S. grant restrictions
limit the training delivery to responders within the United States.
The IAFF training is available throughout the United States. To request
training, IAFF affiliates must provide a request letter signed by an IAFF local president
and the fire chief. The letter should contain a brief explanation of the need for training
in your area, a general timeline for delivery, the number of students and a contact person
for course logistics, such as a training officer.
