Experts aren’t born; they’re made. Build your HazMat team’s competency through quality training that uses the equipment, tools, and capabilities you already have.
The Skills Assessment Event (SAE) programs are a training subscription service. Choose from a variety of training program focus areas that provide samples delivered to your team at the interval you select. With each event you’ll receive a training scenario and sample based on a real HazMat event. Participants evaluate the sample to the extent of their capability. Use the equipment and research tools such as meters, test papers, identification instrumentation, and more.
These comprehensive training programs prompt participants to assess samples and determine critical information like hazard class, spill mitigation procedures, and presumptive identification. Build your skills through hands on learning that can be tailored to your team’s unique needs. This is a great opportunity to have your personnel practice using your in-house response procedures!
Skills Assessment Events include focus areas for:
Known substance response events – Ideal for response personnel to develop skill related to basic chemistry concepts, practice using equipment and tools, and make the connection to hazard mitigation strategies.
Unknown substance response events – For response personnel who work on unknown events to build skill by using a variety of assessment tools to both characterize an unknown substance and potentially identify it. Great for teams with spectroscopy equipment! When it comes to unknown substance response events personnel need the reps on the equipment and tools you have to develop the skill needed to effectively address those responses when they arise.
Advanced unknown substance events – A challenging program with more complex unknown samples where personnel must perform a comprehensive characterization, use research tools, and piece together information to at a minimum put the sample in to a hazard class and preemptively identify components of the sample. Great for teams with advanced spectroscopy and spectrometry. But make no mistake, these samples can’t always be identified.
