Hazardous Materials Outreach Program

Cal EMA / CSTI manage a very successful Hazmat outreach training program which includes 1,201 courses last year and 22,057 persons trained.  Most of our Hazmat courses have received Department of Homeland Security approval for the use of Homeland Security Grant Funds. 
 
CSTI Outreach Instructors have successfully completed training in the Institute’s Instructor Certification Course and completed the requirements listed in the FAQ’s section below. Outreach Instructors deliver hundreds of courses per year to thousands of first responders in municipal and governmental organizations, private industry and the military.  From First Responder Awareness to Hazardous Materials Specialist students acquire the skills needed to save lives and protect both the environment and property.
