The Renewable Fuels Association has conducted nearly 300 in-person Ethanol Emergency Response Seminars across the country. Due to current circumstances and social distancing guidelines, the RFA now will be offering four-hour-long webinars through 2020. These webinars are led by a nationally accredited and professional instructor with an extensive background in emergency management/firefighting/hazardous materials response, and offered in partnership with TRANSCAER and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.
The goal of these webinars is for attendees to gain a full ethanol and ethanol-blended fuel emergency response training experience that can be used immediately in the field. The training program will include the following elements: ethanol and ethanol-blended fuels, chemical and physical characteristics of ethanol and hydrocarbon fuels, transportation and transfer, storage and dispensing locations, fire-fighting foam principles, general health and safety considerations, and storage and pre-planning considerations.
Certificates of Participation will be awarded to all registered attendees once the webinar has been completed. Click here for more information and registration.
