SERVICES
Training and Consulting Services
The Industrial Emergency Council (IEC) was founded to serve as a link between the private sector and public agencies, focusing on the theme of emergency preparedness and response. The IEC offers a wide range of training and consulting services for public safety agencies, private sector companies, and the military.
We provide services in three ways. We offer open enrollment courses, client-based courses (closed course), and consulting services. Our consulting services include staff in-residence to perform ongoing tasks and assessments.
Employee Training
Employee training is perhaps the single most important process that organizations can invest in to keep their workers safe and to better prepare them to respond when an emergency occurs. That is why the Industrial Emergency Council offers a wide range of courses in many different areas including:
- Hazardous Materials Education and Response
- Technical Rescue
- Confined Space Awareness
- Aircraft Rescue & Firefighting (ARFF)
- Supervision and Management for public safety personnel
- Incident Command System
- Marine Rescue and Vessel Operation
- Emergency Response Team (ERT) education
- First-Aid and CPR
- Fire Extinguisher Training
- Facility Safety and Inspections
Courses can be enhanced to address specific areas of concern or interest. Content can be adapted to reflect the materials or hazards employees are exposed to, the type of operations performed by your company, and your company’s Standard Operating Procedures. Course scheduling is flexible as well.
Another advantage is the ability to consolidate training programs by blending multiple topics into one course. Blending multiple topics simplifies documentation and scheduling, while meeting many mandated requirements. It also provides continuity in training and team building that is sometimes not possible when the courses are presented separately. And, it often saves time and money by eliminating redundancy between classes.
One of the Industrial Emergency Council’s strengths is the partnerships formed with other private and public agencies both on state and national levels. Several of our courses carry certifications from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Department of Transportation (DOT), and/or state agencies such as the State Fire Marshal’s Office, the California Office of Emergency Services.
HOST A COURSE AT YOUR LOCATION
Some of our courses first require a host agency’s engagement to provide a site to hold the course. If you are an agency willing to host a course but don’t feel you have enough students to participate, please contact us so we can utilize the benefits of open-enrollment to make this training feasible.
