ABOUT OUR NEW WEBSITE
The Continuing Challenge Committee welcomes you to our new website and new look. We are still working on updating this website so it will be ready for all to use on any type of device, computer, tablet, or smart phone, you name it, it should work.
For better security measures, everyone will need to create a new profile and use a secure password. This new system has better security measures but we need to start fresh to help keep things secure.
If you enter a cell phone number, we encourage you to use your cell phone number that you will have with you at the Workshop and please pick the correct carrier for your service from the dropdown box. By choosing the correct carrier we will be able to send you a text message letting you know of any class changes or updates for your classes you are enrolled in as a student, or instructor, or exhibitor. We are able to send out a text by group, student, instructor, exhibitor, etc.
Thank you and hope to see you in 2019

Our Purpose
The annual Continuing Challenge Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Workshop began in 1990 for the purpose of providing training, networking, and hands-on learning opportunities for all employees in hazardous materials emergency response-related fields of employment. Each year the first week of September, we bring together prominent and skilled presenters who volunteer to provide our students with the most recent information available to enhance or grow skills critical to ensure a safe and effective response. Featured are exciting classroom courses, hands-on sessions, and contests to test new skills.
What We Do
Advancements in hazardous material emergency response are dynamic and attendance at this popular annual workshop is critical to promote the health and safety of responders, the public, and the environment. The workshop is designed to provide the student with the latest information while maintaining the basics for individuals that are new to the HazMat field. The Continuing Challenge features courses that are designed to encourage interaction among all participants and includes topics that complement one another. Participants are provided an opportunity to work with the experts in a forum that relates problems and experiences; where achieving solutions to challenges in individual communities throughout the United States is possible.
