Industrial Emergency Council

Industrial Emergency Council 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.

Our core values include the flexibility to respond to our customers at a moment’s not

ice. 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.
