Safety Assessment Webinar

May 5, 2016 @ 10:30 am - 5:00 pm

SAFETY ASSESSMENT WEBINAR
The California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) Safety Assessment Program (SAP)

The American Institute of Architects Pennsylvania (AIA PA) & the Structural Engineers Association of Pennsylvania (SEAoP) have embarked on a mission to create a new initiative for the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) called the Safety Evaluation and Emergency Response (SEER) Program. This program will utilize a collection of specially trained building professionals willing to perform safety assessments of structures following emergencies or large disasters.

The California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) Safety Assessment Program (SAP), presented by NCSEA, is highly regarded as a standard throughout the country for engineer emergency responders. The training has been reviewed and approved by FEMA’s Office of Domestic Preparedness. Based on ATC-20/45 methodologies and forms, the SAP training course provides engineers, architects and code-enforcement professionals with the basic skills required to perform safety assessments of structures following disasters.

Licensed design professionals and certified building officials will be eligible for SAP Evaluator certification and credentials following completion of this program and submission of required documentation. Non-licensed persons can take the class, and they will receive a paper certificate. Once they receive their architect’s or engineer’s license, they will be issued an ID card. Certification will be issued by CalOES. This course will award 5 hours of continuing education.

This course will award 5 hours of continuing education.
