The class is divided into four modules: HAZCOM awareness, decontamination practices, and practical exercises in decontamination procedures and use of PPE. This class is offered in 8, 10, and 12-hour formats, depending on customer needs. The difference in course length is to accommodate the training needs of different facilities.
