Overview

The Hydrogen Fire Safety Short Course provides a comprehensive foundation in the hazards, standards, and emergency practices required for safely integrating hydrogen into aviation. Covering hydrogen’s unique fire properties, codes and standards, detection and suppression technologies, firefighting practices, and emergency response, this program equips students with the knowledge to mitigate fire risks across hydrogen aviation systems.

 

This training is essential for aircraft developers, safety engineers, regulators, airport firefighters, hydrogen producers, fueling operators, MRO professionals, and anyone preparing for the safe integration of hydrogen into aviation.

 

Learning Objectives 

At the conclusion of this short course, students will be able to:

 

• Understand hydrogen’s unique fire properties: ignition, flammability, and dispersion.

• Apply NFPA, ISO, SAE, and ICAO codes to hydrogen aviation fire safety.

• Evaluate detection, suppression, and containment methods for hydrogen fires.

• Assess hazards in LH₂ tanks, gaseous storage, and distribution systems.

• Integrate hydrogen safety into aircraft, hangars, and airport operations.

• Develop emergency response strategies for hydrogen-related incidents.

• Examine future fire safety standards, R&D needs, and policy harmonization.
