Prepare to effectively manage ammonia incidents from start to finish. This session begins with an overview of anhydrous ammonia properties, transportation, containers, release types, troubleshooting, and response strategies.

We will cover control and containment tactics from both offensive and defensive perspectives, discussing key lessons learned through real-life case studies of stationary facilities and transportation incidents, along with live release training footage.

After a safety briefing and drill preparation, the second half of the day will focus on hands-on live release training in the field, primarily emphasizing tarp and cover operations for control and containment of anhydrous ammonia.

The course is appropriate for first responders (firefighters, police officers, EMS), other emergency responders, and Hazardous Materials Technicians.
