The National Hydrogen Strategy – AFAC Emergency Responders Training Analysis is intended to assess the training needs of Australian fire and emergency service workers (not including Ambulance and Police) in managing the emergency response to incidents involving hydrogen as new applications are introduced in Australia. The aim of the analysis is to provide insight into the development requirements of a nationally consistent approach to hydrogen safety training, and to set out a framework for addressing new training needs as hydrogen applications emerge and scale.

This report is for the Australian Government Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources (DISER), South Australian Government and AFAC member agencies. It provides vision for Australian emergency responders and the essential principles of effective emergency management being prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery and how they will be developed for the emerging hydrogen industry within Australia.
