As there are no agencies or documents that state an exact schedule for re-training, TERSPs under TEAP III are expected to meet this guideline whether in-house, for hire or mutual aid. CERCA is adopting the TEAP III requirements in the verification process. Attendance at training sessions for individuals can be waived, provided that the demonstrated capability is documented. That is, the person responsible for training and the individual has provided written (signed) documentation that the capability has been demonstrated. The training matrix does not include support personnel and Incident Commanders. The Incident Commander role is not fulfilled by a transportation emergency response service provider. In all cases, the TERSP works under the auspices of the responsible party or regulatory authorities (municipal, provincial or federal). Team Leaders: Trained to technician level as per NFPA 472 1.Responsible for selection of personnel and appropriate equipment for the response 2.Complete and implement the site safety plan for the response team in conjunction with Incident Command. Team members:Trained to the operations level as perNFPA 472. Next >
