Increasing availability and adoption of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) presents new safety challenges for First Responders (FR).
The Center for Hydrogen Safety (CHS) in collaboration with AIChE has developed a microtraining learning plan as part of the Hydrogen Safety for First Responders training. This 4-part multimedia course aims to better inform incident responders and support the safe handling and use of hydrogen in a variety of fuel cell applications.
This fourth and last course in the First Responders Micro Training learning plan covers how to respond to a leak or fire at a hydrogen fueling station. Additional considerations are also discussed for stations that dispense other flammable fuels.
The completion of this learning plan qualifies for a certificate of completion with 1.5 Professional Development Hour (PDH) credit.
