Signet North America

Located in Colorado, Signet North America has received recognition across America and all over the world for its innovative approaches to emergency response training. Representatives from Signet North America travel the globe to present courses in dealing with hazardous materials emergency response, incident management, confined space and trench rescue, emergency preparedness, and many other emergency response situations. Hazmat response training remains one of Signet North America’s most popular offerings, and the company presents many classes ranging from basic awareness to specialist emergency response and air monitoring. Exceeding the criteria established by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Signet North America’s eight-hour Hazmat Awareness class serves as an introductory course for dealing with hazardous substances and allows for a greater understanding of the field through recognition of dangerous materials, possible risks, and ways to contact the proper authorities. The Hazmat Operations serves as a more intensive course that transforms people into first responders per OSHA guidelines. Here, the Signet North America specialists provide hands-on training in chemistry, respiratory protection, air monitoring, vapor suppression, and incident command systems. Similarly, Signet North America’s Hazardous Materials Technician class allows people without any prior knowledge to become hazmat technicians, thus enabling them to prevent the release of dangerous substances. The Highway Emergency Response course concentrates on emergency responders called in to handle hazmat issues on the roads, such as accidents involving dry vans and chemical cargo tanks. Other Signet North America Hazmat courses available include Hazmat Air Monitoring, which teaches about air monitoring equipment; Static Electricity Safety and Awareness as static charges can be a potential danger at every hazmat site; Alternative Fuels Safety and Awareness; and Hazmat Awareness and Decontamination for Hospitals. Additionally, the Signet North America course Hazmat Chemistry You’ll Actually Use provides students with a full range of information about the science and the appropriate terminology as recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
