In accordance with Subsection 53-7-204(1)(o), the fire prevention board is tasked with establishing a process for emergency response personnel to be certified in dealing with hazardous materials emergencies. This rule puts into place an advisory council, training and certification processes. It further identifies a national consensus standard which the training is based upon. Finally, it identifies renewals and fees.
