This course was developed for people who are or who anticipate responding to chemical emergencies.

We go over detailed plans for decontamination procedures and different kinds of shelters you can use. We complete this unit with an exercise where we suit up and practice what we've learned.

Other topics covered in this program include:

• Using references to determine hazards
• Designing standard operating procedures
• Recognize hazards at your facility
• The Incident Command System and your role in it

This Operations-level class has been specifically tailored to the needs of those emergency responders who might have to respond to an incident involving hazardous materials at an industrial facility.

Major topics include hazard recognition, health hazard recognition, and your legal rights and responsibilities. We go into specifics about the levels of respiratory protection and other personal protective equipment.

To keep a spill from spreading, the course covers confinement techniques. We talk about decontamination, standard operating procedures, and Emergency Response Plans before concluding the session with a tabletop exercise where we put together everything we've learned.

This program is intended for first-responder personnel who will perform at the Operations Level at hazardous materials incidents. It is divided into three main units:

Recognition:
We cover the applicable federal regulations like HAZWOPER and the OSHAct, which detail rights and responsibilities of workers and employers. We'll teach you to recognize a hazardous material, focusing more on chemical hazards than radiological or biological.

Evaluation:
Air monitoring and medical surveillance are covered in this unit.

Control:
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Personal Protective Equipment are covered in this unit. You will learn about the Incident Command System, a method of organizing personnel. Decontamination is covered in-depth.

The final part of this course is an exercise where we walk through all the steps of a hazardous spill incident, integrating all elements of the course.

Annual refresher training is necessary to update previous Emergency Response training. We offer three different refreshers for flexibility in training.

Scenario:
In this course, we look in-depth at a scenario. You'll review the basics, like MSDS and labeling, before doing activities about Personal Protective Equipment, Incident Command, Emergency Response Plans, etc. We cover your rights and responsibilities.

Performance-Based:
This is hands-on class. We teach about air monitoring equipment and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Confinement techniques and decontamination procedures are reviewed in activities.

Alternatively, the first four hours can be completed on-line, with the hands-on portion done in a separate four hour segment.

Weapons of Mass Destruction:
We have units on Hazard recognition, Unified Command, Field Decontamination, Crime Scene Integrity, and Stress Management Awareness. Not all units are covered in a single refresher; we tailor the course by adding and subtracting the different sections to suit the needs of our trainees and their employers.

Each refresher course has the same basic learning objectives…

• Review experiences during the previous year
• Risks of hazardous materials
• Possible outcomes of emergencies
• Ways to recognize hazardous materials
• Your role as an operations-level responder
• Basic risk and hazard assessment techniques
• Basic control, containment, and confinement procedures
• Basic decontamination procedures
• Use protective equipment
• Meet training requirements stated in Section (e) (8) of the Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Standard, 29 CFR 1910.120

This awareness-level course has been designed for industrial workers who don't expect to be a part of an emergency response, but who might be one of the first people to witness it.

Topics Covered:

• Legal rights and responsibilities
• Incident Command System
• Hazard recognition
• Health effects
• Preventing panic
• How to help others identify the chemical(s) present

This awareness-level course has been designed for municipal workers who don't expect to be a part of an emergency response, but who might be one of the first people to witness it.

Topics Covered:

• Legal rights and responsibilities
• Incident Command System
• Hazard recognition
• Health effects
• Preventing panic
• How to help others identify the chemical(s) present

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.

We've designed this course for chemical emergency responders who will be operating in a systems approach to emergency management.

Topics Covered:

• Emergencies you might encounter
• Emergency Response Plans
• Legal issues
• Incident Command System

When you're finished, you can expect to be able to identify problems in Emergency Response Plans, improve your current plans or resources, decide on appropriate courses of action, and carry out post-emergency plans needed.

This class is for emergency responders who might have to respond to a terrorist attack involving a weapon of mass destruction. The entire session is run as an exercise.

Topics Covered:

• Incident Command System
• Communication
• Zones of the incident
• Chemical, biological, and radiological agents
• PPE
• Monitoring
• Decontamination

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 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.
