The paper presents HyResponse project i.e. a European Hydrogen Safety Training Platform that targets to train First responders to acquire professional knowledge and skills to contribute to FCH permitting process as approving authority. The threefold training program is described: educational training, operational-level training on mock-up real scale transport and hydrogen stationary installations, and innovative virtual training exercises reproducing entire accident scenarios. The paper highlights how the three pilot sessions for European First Responders in a face to face mode will be organized to get a feedback on the training program. The expected outputs are also presented i.e. the Emergency Response Guide and a public website including teaching material and online interactive virtual training.
