Emergency Response & Preparedness

CONFINED SPACE RESCUE/NFPA TECHNICIAN LEVEL 

Participants will have the ability to evaluate, manage and perform a confined space rescue in accordance with NFPA 2500 and NFPA 1006. Participants will have hands-on practice using typical confined space rescue equipment.  The curriculum meets or exceeds requirements for rescue training in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146. The course is designed for both private industry and fire departments. 

CONFINED SPACE RESCUE REFRESHER 

The course is designed to provide hands-on training that allows students to stay up to date in confined space rescue. The course consists of primarily hands-on skills related to the JPR’s of NFPA 1006. The course is designed for both private industry and fire departments.

TRENCH RESCUE II, NFPA TECHNICIAN LEVEL

Meets certification requirements for Trench Rescue technician based on NFPA 2500 and NFPA 1006. Covers soil mechanics and analysis, trench assessment practices, trench protective systems, excavation safety practices, trench/evacuation dynamics, basic collapse victim care, and incident management. The class covers “L” and intersecting trenches in which participants will shore by using wood, mechanical and pneumatic shoring equipment. 

FALL PROTECTION RESCUE

This training course is designed for any supervisor or personnel who work at heights in construction or general industry. This course teaches the basics of self-rescue as well as assisting a fall victim. Participants will expand their rescue skills as well as better understand the requirements of OSHA, ANSI and CSA with regard to rescue. Participants will be involved in practical hands-on work and should dress accordingly.

Lithium Battery Safety

This two-hour course educates workers and community members on the potential hazards associated with lithium batteries. It provides an overview of safe handling practices and appropriate emergency response procedures. Participants will gain an understanding of how lithium batteries can be damaged and the serious consequences that may result.

Response to Lithium Battery Incidents

The four-hour course provides an in-depth overview of lithium-ion battery technologies with a specific focus on the hazards associated with their use, storage, and failure. Participants will explore the fundamental principles behind lithium-ion batteries. Through this course individuals will gain a better understanding of chemistry and design variations of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and consumer electronics.

Advanced Response to Lithium Battery Incidents

This eight-hour course includes all content from the standard four-hour training on lithium battery hazards, safe handling practices, and emergency response procedures. In addition to this foundational material, the course provides an expanded exploration of advanced topics relevant to energy storage systems (ESS).

Participants will delve deeper into the chemistry of cell failure, thermal runaway, and related failure mechanisms. The course also introduces applicable requirements from NFPA 855, with a focus on how these standards apply to the installation and operation of ESS. To enhance practical understanding, real-world incident case studies are presented to highlight key risk factors and lessons learned. The course further examines current hazard mitigation tools available on the market, evaluating their strengths and limitations to support informed decision-making.

This extended training is ideal for professionals seeking both foundational knowledge and a deeper understanding of technical and regulatory aspects of lithium battery safety.
