Hazardous Materials Awareness

Module details

Security isn’t only about controlling access or breaking up fights, it’s also about being prepared for the hidden dangers that can cause the most damage: hazardous materials. From cleaning chemicals to accidental spills, your ability to recognize and respond to hazmat threats can make the difference between safety and disaster. 

In this module, you’ll learn how to: 

• Read and understand signage that warns of hazardous materials. 
• Establish safe standoff distances to protect yourself and others. 
• Recognize the effects of contamination and ingestion, ensuring quick action when exposure occurs. 
• Follow emergency response protocols to minimize harm and prevent escalation. 

By building awareness and preparedness, you’ll strengthen your professional skill set and become a critical first line of defense in keeping venues, staff, and guests safe.
