TENNESSEE STATE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE

FREE TRAINING ON PIPELINE EMERGENCIES AVAILABLE

The National Association of State Fire Marshals is pleased to announce the 2nd Edition of the Pipeline Emergencies curriculum program now available in an interactive, on-line, and free training portal.

Simply go to http://nasfm-training.org/pipeline to register. There you can access the program in one of three courses. Awareness level, Operations Level or Technician Level classes are all available.

When the student completes each one, they will receive a certificate of completion. This certificate will show the average hours it takes to complete the program.  This program has been provided with assistance of the American Petroleum Institute, and the Association of Oil Pipelines, and is also available by linking through the International Association of Fire Chiefs on-line HAZMAT fusion center. We would also like to thank Shell Pipeline, LP for their assistance.

This on-line program has been developed to provide the best possible learning experience for the user and combines that with the “Best in Class” training curriculum Pipeline Emergencies 2nd Edition. While on-line training certainly isn’t new or unique, this program is designed with the user in mind and to be interactive and engaging.

Given the incidents of this type which have occurred in the past, and will likely happen in the future, all responders can benefit from this learning which covers all manner of pipeline related incidents. From the small residential gas leak, to the large crude oil pipeline and highly volatile liquids incidents all types are covered, along with the strategies and tactics to deal with these high risk low frequency events, safely and effectively.

Written by responders for responders and now free for responders to take on line, we invite you to go to http://nasfm-training.org/pipeline and see for yourself.

You can also go to http://nasfm-training.org for additional free classes on other topics as well.
