CSEM training professionals hold certifications with the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) and collateral responsibilities as a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) scenario. We maintain a robust staff to fill the positions of subject matter experts (SME’s) that may be required within the scope of your education and training prerequisites. CSEM is extremely familiar with both military and civilian initiatives and has provided education and support as SME’s for Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) to offer training to the FBI, EPA, and DOT.

Further training and education experience includes Mass Casualty Decontamination, Reconnaissance, Search & Extraction, and Medical operations as integrated into the Incident Command System with First Responders.  CSEM instructors built an incident command and control tabletop exercise to demonstrate each team member’s objectives. Based on our past experiences, we have instituted various classroom scenarios to identify potential difficulties in expectations for the mass casualty response in command and control.

CSEM instructors create and conduct team-based classroom modeling of decontamination scenarios to ascertain control and design flow capabilities. A predetermined flow of reconnaissance, search, and extraction is established. Through each stage of events, cadence will be determined to hold the standard. Our philosophy is very strict when it comes to mass casualty decontamination. Many companies look to foil the basic exercises with some mundane twist in the regimen of the decontamination process. It is a critical part of training that the units are conditioned to work to a baseline of responses. Those responses will always place the unit back into the baseline of thinking. This core philosophy is a must; it cannot be broken as cross contamination is inevitable. The key is to always expect the unexpected and develop contingencies to hold a standard. It works and it saves the lives of the victims and decontamination teams.
