First Aid & CPR

Learning essential first aid and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) provides confidence in a medical emergency. Knowing what to do when someone has a stroke or heart attack is critical. These courses provide the knowledge needed to react responsibly and appropriately in an emergency. The two courses offered are taught to internationally recognized standards.

  • 8-hour Course (one day). Covers basic CPR and First Aid.

  • 40-hour Course. A more in-depth CPR and First Aid course for emergency responders.

Hazardous Materials Response

There are tens of thousands of chemicals in the world - some harmless and some deadly. Learning to identify what happened and to mitigate the impact is the focus of our HazMat training.

Several levels of Hazardous Materials training can be provided. All of these are taught to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 472 standards. These courses can be tailored to your specific needs and the needs of your team. Awareness, Operations, and Technician Modules are also offered.

Vehicle Extrication

An estimated 1.25 million deaths are caused annually by road traffic injuries worldwide according to the World Health Organization. Knowing how to safely remove individuals quickly using the right tools is essential. We offer two courses in vehicle rescue and extrication.

  1. Vehicle Extrication Basics. Covers scene safety, scene stabilization, knowledge of basic tools and tool proficiency, and extrication techniques.

  2. Advanced Vehicle Extrication. Covers the basics as well as rescue techniques using specialized rescue equipment, such as hydraulic rams and pressurized air bags.

Incident Management System (IMS)

Being able to smoothly facilitate communication and response activities, and to work with various response teams and organizations ensures rapid response know-how. Our IMS training provides a standardized approach to emergency management with courses ranging from introductory level to those designed for managers of large-scale incidents.
