The Hazmat Legends Series presents more than 25 nationally recognized leading hazmat responders - with more than 900 years of combined boots on the ground experience. As influential instructors, widely read authors and hazmat responders, they have seen it all and now in this exciting and comprehensive series, they explain how and why hazmat teams do the things they do. These exciting programs cover it all - whether you have new recruits to train or want to provide a stimulating refresher for your team.

Risk-Based Response examines key issues in the latest edition of NFPA 472 - Standard for Competence of Responders to Hazardous Materials/Weapons of Mass Destruction Incidents. This program covers important issues related to safe hazmat response - whether you have new recruits to train or want to provide a stimulating refresher for your team.

This clip features Paul Penn, who has more than thirty years of emergency, environmental, and health & safety management experience. He is currently the founder and president of EnMagine, Inc., the home of the hazardous materials emergency response program for hospitals called HAZMAT for Healthcare. Paul focuses on emergency management and hazardous materials emergency planning, training, training and exercising for hospitals and healthcare. Previously he was the Manager of Environmental Health & Safety at the Kaiser Permanente Sacramento Medical Center. He also served as the Oil Spill Response Program Manager for the State of California and as the SARA Title III Program Manager for the CA Office of Emergency Services.  In this clip he discusses how often EMS is the first to show up on the scene of a hazmat incident and how critical EMS hazmat response training is.
