ONLINE - EMS Provider CE Training
While the majority of courses offered at Princeton Rescue Squad are "in-seat" a small number of courses are delivered via online format to allow flexibility for providers to obtain training without having to juggle their schedules to attend in-person sessions for extremely short courses.
Participants will learn how to recognize a hazardous materials release and the risks involved. They will also learn how to identify the released material; how to use available resources, including the Emergency Response Guidebook; and how to notify the proper authorities in the event of a hazardous material emergency.
