GOSAFER training registration open
Registration is now open for the Ohio Natural Energy Institute's GOSAFER training for first responders. This training is the only of its kind in the nation, offering education and experience to hundreds of firefighters and first responders on the natural gas and oil industry. As a top energy producing state, it's critical for Ohio's first responders to be well versed in the natural gas and oil industry and how to handle any emergency situation. This course offers two sets of curriculum to attendees. First responders go through a virtual education that is then paired with hands-on training. During this course participants will be versed in several subjects: the fundamentals of natural gas and oil, site safety, HAZMAT, production and equipment, storage, processing, and transportation of petroleum products. Hybrid training will include virtual courses and in-person, hands-on exercises at the Wayne County Fire & Rescue Regional Training Facility, Apple Creek, Ohio, Oct. 7.
