Attendees will receive in-depth information on proper training techniques that emergency responders and hazmat personnel need to effectively respond to an ethanol-related emergency. Certificates of completion will be handed out to all attendees at the end of each safety seminar.
“Safety is a top priority for the Renewable Fuels Association and our members,” said RFA and CEO Bob Dinneen. “It is important that those responsible for safety in their communities have the proper resources and training to be prepared if there is an ethanol incident in their area.”
The sessions are free to attend and open to the public. They will be held at the Beacon Theatre on 401 North Main Street.
