Participant Testimonial:
...the other day I watched a wreck on I-10 where a car hit a truck and sent it out of control to where it flipped into the other lane. Your course kicked in.... Me and my guy jumped out of our truck I told him to call 911 and get that handled and I ran to the old man in the truck. A lady stopped and asked what she could do... I sent her to my truck and gave her my employee's name to ask for my first aid box. The others came up and asked, I had them directing traffic until authorities came up and I was putting bandages on the 92 year old head to stop the bleeding. Then another man came up with a medical kit and I asked if he had any training and he had first responders cert so I then stepped back and took direction from him until the medical staff got there to take him to the hospital. The old man never passed out and never complained. The rail of the truck or the strut that holds the roof bent down and scalped the old man when the truck flipped. After it was over, I thought of your (BERT) training and the fact that it all fell into place.

ACAC Certification Summary:
Council-certified Emergency Operations personnel (CEOP, CEOM and CEOC) coordinate and manage a company's response to a natural or man-made disaster in the event that government first responders cannot arrive immediately. From fire suppression and light search & rescue to medical and building triage, Council-certified personnel have knowledge and experience in a wide range of disciplines relevant to disaster management. Working as part of the regular staff of any business, they develop and maintain procedures and chains of command that enable the company to maintain order in the event of an emergency and provide first responders with an accurate assessment of the situation when they arrive.
Council-certified Emergency Operations personnel (CEOP, CEOM and CEOC) possess verified knowledge of the disaster management field. The CEOP, CEOM and CEOC certification exams cover the most respected reference texts in the industry. Candidates must know the important industry standards. They must be familiar with scientific principles governing a wide range of disasters and their implications for life and health. They must understand the most common practices and protocols used by first responders, as they often perform the work of first responders in the first hours after a disaster strikes.
