Ohio Natural Energy Institute Offering First Responders Free Immersive, Hands On Training
Registration is now open for the Ohio Natural Energy Institute’s annual GOSAFER training for first responders. This training is the only of its kind in the nation, offering education and experience to hundreds of firefighters and first responders in Ohio on the natural gas and oil industry.
“Our GOSAFER training is an initiative we are particularly proud of at the Ohio Natural Energy Institute. Being able to offer this service to those who give so much to our state free of charge is incredibly rewarding,” said Bruce Tague, Executive Director of the Ohio Natural Energy Institute. “Thank you to all the natural gas and oil producers who make it possible to offer this free resource.”
As a top energy producing state, it’s critical for Ohio’s first responders to be well versed in the natural gas and oil industry and how to handle any emergency situation. First responders who register will go through a virtual education that is then paired with hands-on training.

• Fundamentals of Natural Gas and Oil
