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 first course, and pre-requisite, of the First Responders MicroTraining learning plan, is an introduction that covers the properties of hydrogen and provides a basic understanding of fuel cell vehicles and how they operate.

The completion of this learning plan qualifies for a certificate of completion with 1.5 Professional Development Hour (PDH) credit.
