Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often. For anything specific to a course, check that course's page — each one has its own FAQ section too.

General

Where do you deliver training?

On-site, at your department, facility, or event location. We build the schedule around your team rather than asking your team to travel to us.

What areas do you serve?

HRS is based in Atlantic City, NJ, and serves departments and facilities throughout the region. If you're outside our usual service area, reach out and we'll confirm whether we can make it work.

How do I get a quote?

Contact us with your course of interest, group size, and rough timeline. We'll follow up with a free consultation and a group-pricing quote — there's no cost or obligation to ask.

Do you offer group pricing?

Yes. Pricing is typically structured around group size rather than a flat per-course rate, since most of our clients are training a full department or shift, not individuals.

Can training be split across multiple sessions?

For most courses, yes. If pulling your whole team for one continuous block isn't realistic, tell us your shift rotation and we'll build a schedule around it.

Certification & compliance

Are your certifications OSHA-recognized?

Yes — HRS is an authorized OSHA outreach provider, and our courses are built to meet the relevant OSHA and NFPA standards for each topic area.

How long does it take to receive official cards or certificates?

Turnaround varies by course and certifying body; for OSHA outreach cards specifically, plan for a few weeks after course completion. We'll give you an exact timeline when we confirm your session.

Do certifications expire?

Some do and some don't — HAZWOPER, for example, requires an annual 8-hour refresher to stay current. We'll tell you the renewal requirements for your specific course, and can set up recurring refreshers so nothing lapses unnoticed.

Working with HRS

What makes HRS different from other training providers?

Our lead instructors are Level III Hazmat Technicians with real incident response experience, and the company itself is first-responder owned. The training reflects what actually happens on scene, not just what's in a manual.

Do you only do hazmat training?

No — hazmat is where we started, but we also cover EMS continuing education, incident command, vehicle extrication, traffic incident management, OSHA compliance, and consulting/standby services.

Can you train mutual aid partners together?

Yes, and for incidents that cross department lines — WMD response, traffic incidents, multi-agency operations — training together is often more valuable than training in isolation.
