The Program
Substations and Vaults Training
The Substations and Vaults course covers both fire and medical incidents that occur inside these hazard spaces. Operating safely in these areas requires an acute understanding of the equipment. The hazards are both visible and invisible, so we must learn to anticipate these dangers. Emergencies happen in these spaces and when they do, you may be called to help. Learn how to work with your energy providers in preparation for that alarm.
