ICS 100
Learn a proven incident site management system for emergencies or disasters. Students will be introduced to an effective system for command, control, and coordination of response at an emergency site. The Incident Command System (ICS) is recognized as a flexible and scalable all-hazards system, which provides a common response framework suitable to any size of event. Gain a basic understanding of the Incident Command System, its organization, principles, basic structure and common responsibilities.7-hour course.
Basic Spill Response (Based on NFPA 472)

HAZWOPER (Federal OSHA training requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120)
Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response, or HAZWOPER, substantially improves employee hazard awareness at the worksite, while establishing an operations level of response competency for employees exposed to chemical hazards.
The course has roots in the United States model of 29CFR 1910.120 (e) & (q) for contaminated waste site management, safety practices and emergency response, and has been thoroughly amended to reflect and promulgate Canadian standards and laws.
The purpose of this course is to ensure real-life hazard awareness to employees while establishing an operations level of response competency to employees exposed to chemical hazards on work sites. The objective of the course is to provide well defined methods and protocols to ensure that personnel operate in the safest possible manner within a well-defined framework that is internationally recognized and adopted.
Upon successful completion of this 40 hour – 4-day course participants will have a thorough working understanding of:
What hazardous materials are, how they are classified, and how to evaluate their associated toxicological information,
Routes of exposure and the human response associated with each,
Fundamentals of the Site Specific Safety Plan and the mechanisms identified within this plan for work practice controls,
Levels of Personal Protective Equipment, the applicability of each, and how to effectively determine your needs,
Upper and lower explosion limits, oxygen enrichment and deficiency, and fire chemistry,
Level of Competency and how employees fit into the Incident Command System,
