NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF STATE FIRE MARSHALS A Strong United Voice for Fire Prevention
|
California Pipeline Emergency Response Initiative
The California Fire Marshals Office of Pipeline Safety (CAL Fire OPS) and the National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASSFM) are proud to be working together to help training first responders and others on how to safety and effectively respond to and mitigate pipeline related incidents. Using the 3rd edition of its nationally acclaimed Pipeline Emergencies Training Curriculum, in conjunction with local expertise from the CAL Fire OPS, NASFM is offering classes throughout the state on pipeline safety and response. Classes range from a beginning awareness level training to an intermediate operations level, technician level and even train the trainers. The classes are being taught to first responders, at their location and when they need them. Regardless of the class is during the day, or needs to be done nights or weekends, the intent of the PERI program is training when and where the response community needs it. |
From the Department of Transportaion Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Website: Improving communication between emergency responders and pipeline operators nationwide is an important component of pipeline safety. The PERI was conceived as a way to strengthen relationships among the various stakeholders involved with pipeline safety and emergency response, as well as to spur the development and implementation of enhanced pipeline emergency response training.
