To further fulfill its mission of providing the best customer service, Industrial Scientific has introduced its Firefighter Hazard Awareness course in an online format.

There are 10 online modules in this course with a quiz at the end of each module. Students successfully completing the final exam at the end of the course will receive a competency certificate. 

Topics covered in the online course include:
• Atmospheric Hazards
• Atmospheric Testing
• Fire Service Applications
• Sensor Technology
• Bump Testing & Calibration
• Datalogging & Industrial Hygiene

Other online courses covering instrument operation and industry-specific applications will be released in the future to provide convenience and accessibility to quality gas detection training.
