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.
In this second course of the First Responders MicroTraining learning plan, you’ll learn about the impact of fire on hydrogen storage and high-voltage battery and the proper guidelines for fire response and extrication.
The completion of this learning plan qualifies for a certificate of completion with 1.5 Professional Development Hour (PDH) credit.
