About This Training
This hands-on chlorine operator training gives water and wastewater professionals the practical skills to safely operate and maintain chlorine ton container feed systems. Participants work through real leak scenarios using Chlorine Institute emergency repair kits, practice ton cylinder change-out procedures, and leave with actionable knowledge that directly improves safety, regulatory compliance, and system reliability.
Whether you’re an operator building your foundational skills or a supervisor looking to strengthen your team’s emergency response capabilities, this course is built for the field — not the classroom.
