If you are, or anticipate being, part of an emergency response team, take this awareness course. You will learn how to recognize and report emergencies to the proper authorities.

We'll introduce the Incident Command System. There are various roles within this system, and we'll discuss where you stand in the hierarchy.

This training course is for those who are not members of emergency response teams or fire brigades, but who are responsible for directing and assisting employees in the event of an evacuation. Evacuation coordination may include the Incident Commanders, Building Captains, and employees who will assist in evacuating others.

There are three main topics that will be covered:

• Roles and responsibilities - this section includes information on the Incident Command System and Emergency Response Plans.
• Fixed Fire-Suppression Systems - we'll discuss the merits and problems with sprinklers, carbon dioxide systems, and wet/dry chemical systems.
• Evacuation Drills - how do you plan and organize a drill? We'll answer that question as well as provide information on evaluating the drill.

This class is for those who may discover environmental releases or observe dumping violations. We'll help you understand what hazardous materials are and how to recognize them. We'll explain what you can expect in terms of your own health. We'll give you instruction on who to report the release or dump to, and what that person will need to know.

This program is designed to assure adequate practice with appropriate personal protective equipment that may be used as part of emergency response or remediation of hazardous materials. Examples include SCBA, chemical protective clothing, Leval A dressout.

This program is geared towards emergency receivers at hospitals. We discuss their duties and limitations and go over the Incident Command System. You'll learn about levels of Personal Protective Equipment, how to select the right one, and how to put it on and take it off properly. We'll go over different kinds of decontamination shelters and procedures, and finish up with a simulation tying all aspects of the program together.
