The attendees will participate in the hands-on setup of a staging area.
What’s more, the design and setup of the staging area will come from the team
members attending the class by means of the guidance of the instructor. As a
result, the response team will have a more efficient management of equipment for
during an actual emergency response situation.

Scenarios are planned that will simulate conditions indicating that a spill
or leak has occurred. The teams will form and lay out all their emergency
equipment, using the newly designed staging area. They 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. All personnel will be given the opportunity to wear the SCBA and wear
the fully encapsulating training suit in practice.

At some point during the day the attendees are required to take a 25 question
examination and upon satisfactorily passing, will be awarded an 8 hour refresher
certificate and an emergency responder identification wallet card to be used
when responding to actual spills.
