Primary Responsibilities and Daily Duties
The role of a HAZMAT Technician goes far beyond simply handling chemicals. It's a job that requires a thorough understanding of the properties of the materials they work with, as well as the regulations in force for their management.

· Disposal: Organize and supervise the safe disposal of materials, whether by incineration, recycling or other approved methods.
· Emergency response: Respond rapidly to incidents or accidents involving hazardous materials, implementing response protocols to contain and manage a situation.
· Advice and training: Provide advice to colleagues, companies and the general public on the safe handling of hazardous materials, and offer training when required.
· Regulatory watch: Stay aware and keep up to date on the latest regulations and standards in hazardous materials management.
· Emergency response: In emergency situations like transportation accidents or industrial spills, HAZMAT Technicians often work under pressure in collaboration with other emergency services to manage and mitigate risks.
Required Skills and Qualities
HAZMAT Technicians must understand and be able to implement their Emergency response plan, have a working knowledge of the Incident Command System, be able to work in the proper PPE, proficient in contamination assessment, decontamination and operating within an approved Incident Action Plan.
Training and qualifications
HAZMAT Technicians are trained to the 29 CFR 1910.120 (q)(6)(iii) standard. Hazardous materials Technicians shall have received at least 24 hours of training equal to the first responder operations level and in addition have competency in the following areas and the employer shall so certify:
