Burress Advisory Group offers training programs to those individuals whose employers have determined to need First Responder Operations level training.
OSHA Requirements for This Training Level
According to OSHA, these individuals are “individuals who respond to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances as part of the initial response to the site for the purpose of protecting nearby persons, property, or the environment from the effects of the release.
