IEC provides emergency response training to the
public & private sector. The Industrial emergency Council was founded in 1978. We believe in learning by doing.

IEC was designed to serve as a link between the private sector and public agencies, to improve emergency preparedness and response. The Industrial Emergency Council is part of CAER {Community Awareness to Emergency Response}, a national network of organizations sponsored by the Chemical Manufacturers Association. Our core values include the flexibility to respond to our customers at a moment’s notice. IEC has the superior ability to assess and deliver training and education designed to fulfill each individual customer’s needs. We have proven ability to establish and maintain excellent relationships in both the public and private sector. Our high quality instructors are among the most knowledgeable and experienced professionals in their fields. Approximately 80% of our training consists of hands on instruction by the nation’s top corps of emergency response teaching professionals. Included are chemists, industrial hygienists, paramedics, HazMat specialists, firefighters, law enforcement strategists and others who can help you and your team plan and learn with maximum effectiveness and enjoyment. The Industrial Emergency Council offers training courses in Rescue Systems, Medical response (HAZWOPPER), and diverse specialized training courses including Incident Command/ Scene Management, Firefighting, Media training, Building Council, and also customized courses for specialized needs. A key aspect of our training is our collection of the finest training equipment including certified prop trailers for simulated spills. Whether you are interested in personal training, have the need to prepare and entire staff for emergency response, or file plans to fulfill regulatory requirements, the Industrial Emergency Council can provide the expertise and the training you need.

HAZMAT TRAINING IS IN FULL SWING AT IEC!
The Industrial Emergency Council (IEC) is keeping busy with three consecutive HazMat training series!
San Jose just wrapped up HazMat Technician training and kicks off HazMat Specialist on Monday!
Salinas and Ventura have launched their HazMat Specialist courses!
Rancho Cucamonga and Redding are up next!
WHAT SETS IEC APART? EXPERIENCE!
We are fortunate to have an outstanding team of instructors from across the nation who bring decades of real-world hazardous materials response experience into the classroom and onto the training ground.
Our instructors don't just teach from a textbook. They've been there, done that, and learned the lessons that only real emergencies can teach.
They know what it's like to make critical decisions on the pavement at ZERO DARK THIRTY, when conditions are dangerous, information is limited, and lives are on the line.
That experience makes all the difference when teaching responders how to operate safely, effectively, and confidently during hazardous materials emergencies.
At IEC, we believe the best training comes from those who have actually done the job!
REAL EXPERIENCE. REAL-WORLD TRAINING. REAL LESSONS LEARNED.
That's what IEC delivers!
Train with instructors who have been there. Because when the next HazMat call comes in, EXPERIENCE COUNTS!
