8 Hours - *Up to 24 Students per class.
A good general information course dealing with the various types, styles, and brands of Hazardous Material Suits. The course deals with: what materials the various suits are made of, their capabilities, their costs, overall cost effectiveness, etc. The course shows where some suits might be better than others.

This course teaches the suggested methodology of various manufacturers to test your suits. The course teaches how to do routine inspections and when you probably want to retire your suit.

If given enough lead-time, F.I.R.E.S. will be happy to bring in representatives from several companies to talk about their particular brand and type of suits. We encourage the sales representatives to bring in not only various suits, but the testing equipment needed to maintain and test those suits. (Note: During this class we neither endorse nor offer negative evaluations about any specific manufacturer or product. We simply offer our thoughts and some pros and cons for you to evaluate.)
