Emilcott has developed and conducted Emergency Response training for various manufacturing and chemical companies as well as other organizations.  Emilcott has been effective in developing emergency response training that addresses both the needs of an industrial emergency response program and the practicalities of first response organizations.  Emilcott specifically designs the incident command training to address the Incident Command System that is recognized by the industry (and is used by the most public first response groups), as the best method of response in meeting the needs and requirements of the industry.

Emilcott was responsible for developing the instructional materials for Chemical Safety Training that will be used by General Chemical’s water treatment chemical manufacturing facilities.  The training program consists of a series of 8 modules designed to satisfy OSHA regulatory requirements for Hazard Communication and HazWOPER training, as well as improved safety in plant operations and hazardous materials management.   Emilcott personnel worked closely with General Chemical’s Occupational, Health and Safety Director to develop the curriculum, to design the training materials and meet project deadlines.

Emilcott developed and presented a 16-Hour Line Supervisor Safety Management Training Course to Medarex supervisors at their NJ and California locations.  The objective of the training is to give line supervisors an overall understanding of OSHA requirements, their responsibilities under the Medarex Health and Safety Programs, and basic health and safety skills.  The courses consist of modules geared towards specific health and safety related tasks and the supervisor’s role and responsibilities. These sessions include methods to involve the supervisor, such as workshops, problem solving, and discussion groups. Checklists, examples, and other tools were provided to improve the ease of safety-related tasks. The program stresses supervisor’s leadership responsibilities for enforcement of safe work practices and provided them with usable tools to improve employee awareness and involvement in the health and safety programs.

The U.S. Army Europe asked Emilcott to provide a Confined Space Entry written program and training for army personnel and German native contract workers.  Emilcott conducted a confined space audit at a casern in Heidelberg, developed a written program, then conducted a train-the-trainer course on base.  The written program and training have become a model confined space entry program for all army caserns in Europe.   Subsequently, Emilcott developed an interactive, computer-based CD-Rom course for army and civilian personnel that explained the written program and instructs on confined space entry procedures.  The course was developed in English and German.

The U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventative Medicine (CHPPM) asked Emilcott to provide advanced health and safety training courses to a response group supporting peace-keeping troops in Bosnia, Kosova and Kuwait.  While army personnel are highly trained to protect themselves in the case of nuclear, chemical or biological warfare, they found themselves unprepared for the hazards they were encountering on the many destroyed industrial sites in these countries.  Emilcott provided these five customized courses from 1998-2002 to help the Army perform its peace-keeping missions safely.  Course included: Advanced Direct-Reading Environmental Health Instrumentation; Indoor Environmental Quality - Microbiological Contamination; Advanced Respiratory Protection; Asbestos Inspection and Management; and Health and Safety for Hazardous Waste Operations.  Since 2000, Emilcott has returned to Germany each year to conduct the HazWOPER and Asbestos Management courses.

For the initial phase of this project Emilcott developed a written health and safety plan, job descriptions / job action sheets, and standard operating procedures for use by the DOHMH’s EERT during emergency responses to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) events within New York City.  In the second phase, Emilcott developed and presented a Train-the-Trainer program to prepare DOHMH personnel to train their colleagues in the technical material prepared in the initial phase.  The project provided the foundation for the EERT to respond appropriately to possible future CBRNE events within NYC.

Under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Native American Programs contracts OPC-22302 and OPC-21174, TO2, Emilcott staff developed two cutting-edge guidance documents for use by those responsible for addressing health and safety issues in tribal housing.  These publications have been distributed across the country in two series of training workshops co-instructed by Emilcott staff, and both are to be electronically accessible through the HUD ONAP website.   “Mold Prevention and Detection: A Guide for Housing Authorities in Indian Country” (first and second editions) and its companion document, “Mold Prevention and Detection: A Guide for Maintenance Staff and Housing Counselors in Indian Country” are user-friendly and reality-based.  Their purpose is to offer a practical approach to identifying and solving mold and moisture problems carefully, safely and respectfully.  The Guides were written for housing agencies (directors, resident services, and maintenance staff), housing inspectors, tribal council members, health providers, building specialists, contractors, renovators and architects.
