The HazMatIQ Above The Line/Below The Line System is a patented program developed by experienced hazardous materials responders, taught in a straight forward, easy to understand methodology. This cornerstone course, lays the foundation for all HazMatIQ Courses. Through the use of simplified flow charts, personnel are able to safely and efficiently respond to any known or unknown chemical/mixture. Students will be trained to size-up (physical state, hazards, initial hot zone, correct meters and PPE) of any chemical in seconds. The system use a streamlined methodology to build upon the initial size-up, preparing them to immediately go to work when they arrive on a Hazardous Materials/WMD event.
