A fire fighter's ability to recognize an incident involving hazardous materials is critical. They must possess the knowledge required to identify the presence of hazardous materials and weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and have an understanding of what their role is within the response plan. Hazardous Materials Awareness and Operations will provide fire fighters and first responders with these skills and enable them to keep themselves and others safe while mitigating these potentially deadly incidents. Hazardous Materials Awareness and Operations is the center of an integrated teaching and learning system that combines groundbreaking content with dynamic new features to support instructors and to help prepare students for the job. The text meets and exceeds the requirements for Fire Fighter I and II certification and satisfies the core competencies for operations level responders including the eight mission-specific responsibilities for first responders within the 2008 Edition of NFPA 472, Standard for Competence of Responders to Hazardous Materials/Weapons of Mass Destruction Incidents. Additionally, the material presented also exceeds the hazardous materials response requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Hazardous Materials Awareness and Operations provides in-depth coverage of: the properties and effects of hazardous materials and WMDs; how to calculate potential danger and initiate a response plan; selection, use, advantages, and disadvantages of personal protective equipment; performing mass and technical decontamination; performing evidence preservation and sampling; performing product control. Performing air monitoring and sampling; performing victim rescue and recovery; and responding to illicit laboratory incidents. Listen to a Podcast with Hazardous Materials Awareness and Operations author Rob Schnepp to learn more about this training program!

I purchased this book to study for my Hazardous Materials Awareness and Operations National Certification exams. I found the book to be a good book and interesting. I did not think it was a "dry" book seeing the material it covers can be sometimes boring or complicated.
The book is broken into the appropriate sections when talking about the training requirements set forth by the current NFPA standard. The new hazardous materials operations level is broken into compentices and this book set-up based on that.
The beginning of each chapter shows the highlighted parts of the NFPA standard that the chapter will be going over, which is very helpful when you are testing the certification exams.
I am not saying this book covers everything at the awareness and operations levels, but it is pretty close, but who says that you only need one book to study anyways? It is also helpful to have a current copy of the ERG book when reading this book.

I never got a textbook during hazmat classes, so I bought this as a handy reference manual and for test prep for the Hazmat Ops proboard certification. It's proven to be a detailed and useful book, reminding me of the little things I'd forgotten about things like product control and decon procedure. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to perform better in the hazmat field.
