The 470 Hazmat Awareness course, delivered by the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC), provides participants with foundational knowledge to recognize, identify, and respond safely to hazardous materials incidents. This online, self‑paced course focuses on hazard recognition, basic protective actions, and emergency response awareness in accordance with industry standards.

The course is delivered entirely online and can be completed at your own pace. Participants should anticipate approximately 5–7 hours to complete all course content. A two‑week completion window is provided, running from August 4 to August 18. The course concludes with a final written examination on August 18.

This course is ideal for personnel who may encounter hazardous materials and require awareness‑level training without assuming an operational response role.
