Students will have an opportunity to demonstrate the skills they learned during this course while participating in a live emergency response drill.
Scope:This course covers:

  • Procedures for handling emergency responses
  • Written emergency response plans
  • Hazards confronting responders
  • Material safety data sheets and terms
  • Health effects of ammonia and other chemicals
  • How to plan and prepare for emergencies
  • How to decontaminate responders and clean up/neutralize ammonia spills
  • Protective clothing
  • Self contained breathing apparatuses (SCBA’s) and respirators
  • Conducting mock scenarios with SCBA’s and encapsulating suits
  • Monitoring devices, manual and electronic
Who should attend:Members of management, engineering, maintenance, refrigeration, safety, production, human resources and security. A good cross section can contribute greatly to the overall effectiveness of any emergency response team.

Day Three

On day three all of the training that was given in days one and two are put into practice. All attendees, if medically able, will don and doff equipment or hands-on application of equipment at facility will be performed by the attendees. All personnel will be given the opportunity to wear the SCBA and wear the fully encapsulating training suit in practice. In addition, the Incident Command System setup and integration will be discussed and then implemented practically during the mock training by the team.

Additionally, scenario(s) are planned that will simulate conditions indicating that a spill or leak has occurred. The team(s) will form and lay out all their emergency equipment and will assess the situation and determine what emergency equipment they will need to stop the leak. The teams will then approach the spill and simulate the repair. Critiques will then be held to look for weaknesses or changes that should be made in the future scenarios.
