| DOE's Introduction
to Hydrogen Safety for First Responders is a Web-based course that
provides an "awareness level" overview of hydrogen for fire, law enforcement,
and emergency medical personnel. This multimedia tutorial acquaints first
responders with hydrogen, its basic properties, and how it compares to
other familiar fuels; hydrogen use in fuel cells for transportation and
stationary power; potential hazards; initial protective actions should
a responder witness an incident; and supplemental resources including videos,
supporting documents, and links relevant to hydrogen safety.
Abridged versions of the training
course will soon be available in print and on CD via DOE's Energy Efficiency
and Renewable Energy Information
Center at 877-EERE-INFO/877-337-3463
