Instructor/Chief Pilot SERTC (Security And Emergency Response Training Center) Pueblo, Colorado, United States
Detection and monitoring for hazardous environments has traditionally been viewed as a very mysterious part of the job, but it doesn't have to be. This session aims to demystify this task by getting back to the basics, including a review of common containers used in highway and railroad transportation. Participants will learn the various methods used to detect hazardous materials, followed by the proper ways to monitor for these hazards to ensure that responders go home in the same (but probably sweatier) condition they arrived at the station in.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will learn to identify the various ways to detect the presence of hazardous materials
Participants will learn how to choose the proper monitoring technology based on the materials identified
Participants will be able to summarize the basic maintenance required to ensure their chosen technologies remain functional and accurate.
