Calling All Instructors
The Continuing Challenge Hazardous Materials Workshop is now accepting course proposals for the 2016 workshop, which will be held September 6-9, 2016 at the Red Lion Hotel Woodlake, Sacramento.
For 27 years the Continuing Challenge has served as the nation's largest gathering of hazardous materials emergency responders where basic and advanced knowledge and skills, and innovations, are presented. If you have something to share, please consider being a member of our faculty.
The following is a list of course content that is of particular interest to workshop students:

- Product specific such as chlorine, ammonia, propane, HF
- Alternative fuels
- Radiological
- Monitoring/detecting/testing

Classes may be presented in lecture, panel discussion, demonstrations, and field activities format and should include common sense, user-friendly, and applicable tips and tricks that students can bring back to their respective organizations to implement. Year after year, students request instruction that includes exercises, hands-on activities, and case studies.
Courses may include specific product and company information provided the presenter includes a demonstration of the product and the course includes the science, chemistry, etc. of the product and does not use the session to sell a specific product.
