Natural Gas and Electric First Responder E-Learning program



Rhode Island Energy - This E-Learning program was designed with First Responders in mind The program was designed to provide the most relevant information to not only educate First Responders, but ensure their safety in the event they are first on scene in the event of a Natural Gas or Electric incident. The programs are free for participants to register and complete, self-paced and keeps track of progress for participants. The trainings are designed with the participants in mind, to allow them flexibility to complete over a time period that makes the most sense for them. Both modules, the gas and electric, take roughly 3-3.5 hours to complete, but can be completed over the course of a days/weeks depending on the schedule of the participant.
