Be Ready Before the Spill Happens
Chemical leaks can escalate fast. Equip your team with the knowledge, confidence, and coordination to detect, contain, and control hazardous materials to protect people, property, and the environment.
Overview
Chemical hazards pose one of the most complex risks in industrial environments. ASEC’s HazMat Response & Chemical Safety Division delivers specialised training to help organisations prepare, respond to, and recover from chemical-related emergencies.
Through practical, scenario-based learning, participants gain the confidence to recognise hazardous substances, interpret safety data, and perform containment using proper procedures and equipment.
Each course is aligned with NFPA standards, ensuring every response meets both international and local requirements.
Our HazMat Response & Chemical Safety Programmes
ASEC’s HazMat Response & Chemical Safety programmes build responder capability from awareness to leadership.
Aligned with NFPA 1072 standards, each course combines theory with hands-on simulation to prepare participants to identify, contain, and control hazardous materials safely and effectively.
