The annual Continuing Challenge Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Workshop began in 1990 for the purpose of providing training, networking and hands-on learning opportunities to all employees in hazardous materials emergency response related fields of employment. Each year, the first week of September, we bring together the most prominent and skilled presenters who volunteer to provide our students with the most recent information available to enhance or grow skills critical to ensure a safe and effective response. Featured are exciting classroom sessions, hands-on workshops, and exciting contests to test new skills.
