This training is designed for Australian career and volunteer emergency responders, fire and rescue personnel, and non-operational team members. It introduces the properties, possible risks, and expected applications associated with hydrogen.

This course is also available in PDF format for face-to-face training delivery.

This training was developed by AFAC and Deakin University for the National Hydrogen Strategy. This project was supported with funding by Australian governments through the Energy and Climate Ministerial Council. This funding provided us with the opportunity to create this training as a critical foundational step in the development of a safe, reliable hydrogen industry in Australia.
