Emergency preparedness training for your company means much more than knowing where to go during a tornado warning. Consider bioterrorism (e.g., anthrax or a plague), radiation emergencies, chemical emergencies, an explosion or a bombing: Any of these catastrophic events can cause mass casualties in and around your company, and bring its daily operations to a sudden halt.

FASTEX’s Emergency Preparedness training consultant has worked in dozens of crisis situations and understands the mindsets, behaviors and emotions and individuals in the midst of an emergency situation. Clients agree that our Emergency Preparedness Training course is low-stress and factual as it journeys through the required actions, from the few minutes following a disaster all the way through recovery, so that your firm can return to business operations as quickly as possible. Class participants are not required to have any previous emergency preparedness experience, but are highly encouraged to actively participate in discussions and exercises that simulate real-life scenarios. Your staff will feel more equipped, trained and cognizant of how to handle an emergency situation while on the job when FASTEX develops and conducts emergency preparedness training exercises that are unique to your business, facilities, and personnel.
