Chlorine Gas Emergency Response Training

Train Your Team to Respond Quickly and Safely to Chlorine Leaks and Exposures

Chlorine Gas Exposure Is a Serious, Preventable Hazard

Chlorine gas is a highly toxic inhalation hazard used in many industrial processes, and even a small leak can lead to serious injuries, mass exposure, or costly evacuations. With proper Chlorine Gas Emergency Response training, your team will learn to recognize warning signs, respond quickly, use protective equipment, and safely contain leaks, minimizing risk and protecting lives. AOTC’s training transforms your workforce from at-risk individuals into confident first responders, ready to take decisive, life-saving action in the event of a release.

About Chlorine Gas Emergency Response Training

Chlorine Gas Emergency Response is essential training for workers who may face chlorine gas leaks or exposures. Required under OSHA’s HAZWOPER standard (29 CFR 1910.120) and supported by EPA Risk Management Planning requirements, this course prepares teams to safely detect, contain, and mitigate chlorine incidents.

Unlike general hazmat training, this program focuses specifically on chlorine-related hazards through hands-on instruction and practical response strategies. Participants learn how to:

  • Identify chlorine gas hazards
  • Use PPE, including SCBA
  • Detect and control leaks
  • Follow emergency and evacuation protocols
  • Decontaminate people and equipment
  • Operate within an incident command system

Whether onboarding new staff or refreshing a response team, this OSHA-aligned training builds the skills and confidence needed for fast, compliant, and effective chlorine gas emergency response.

Our Training Program

AOTC’s Chlorine Gas Emergency Response training helps organizations meet compliance, reduce risk, and protect lives with tailored, hands-on instruction for every team and facility. Designed for both First Responders—those who identify and control leaks—and Support Personnel who work near chlorine, our courses align with OSHA and HAZWOPER standards.

Our training covers key skills like:

  • Understanding chlorine hazards and health risks
  • Identifying leak sources and proper PPE (including SCBA)
  • Containment, evacuation, and incident command procedures
  • Decontamination and post-incident safety
  • Reading chlorine Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
  • Responding to simulated leak scenarios with real equipment

With practical exercises that utilize actual detection tools, leak kits, and protective gear, participants gain confidence and real-world experience, enabling them to act swiftly and safely during chlorine emergencies. Choose our program to ensure your team is prepared when it matters most.

What to Expect

Our mission is straightforward: help organizations prevent chemical-related injuries through hands-on training that makes an impact. Whether a plant operator manages hazardous materials or a safety officer coordinates an emergency response, every participant will leave with practical skills they can apply immediately.

This course supports various industries and roles, including water treatment staff, maintenance technicians, emergency responders, safety coordinators, and EHS personnel. Each team member has a role in responding to chlorine incidents, and our training ensures they are prepared to act confidently and competently.

With personalized instruction based on each participant’s responsibilities, your organization will be better equipped for long-term safety, preparedness, and regulatory compliance.

Our Classes

Two certified instructors specializing in hazardous chemical safety and OSHA-compliant emergency procedures lead chlorine gas emergency response courses.

To ensure effective learning, our sessions are designed with small group instruction in mind. The maximum class size is 10 students, maintaining a 5:1 student-to-instructor ratio for high-quality, individualized support. During hands-on exercises and skills evaluations, we reduce the ratio to 2:1, ensuring every participant receives guided practice and detailed feedback.

We also maintain a strict 2:1 student-to-equipment ratio for all training gear, including PPE, SCBAs, gas detectors, and leak mitigation tools. This ensures each participant gains direct experience using the equipment they’ll rely on in an emergency.

Participants build the skills and confidence to take decisive, safe action during chlorine gas incidents through realistic simulations and using actual chlorine response tools.

Certifications

To earn Chlorine Gas Emergency Response certification, participants must complete all course modules and successfully demonstrate their skills during a final performance evaluation. Those who meet the requirements will receive an official AOTC certification card with their course completion date.

All attendees, including those who attend the full course but do not pass the final evaluation, can receive a Recognition of Participation (ROP).

Staying certified ensures your team is prepared to meet OSHA and HAZWOPER standards for hazardous chemical response and can react quickly and safely in a chlorine emergency.
