Findlay, Ohio – The University of Findlay’s center for occupational, emergency and security training has taken on a new name: The All Hazards Training Center. Previously called the School of Environmental and Emergency Management (SEEM), the center provides Occupational Safety and Health Administration training, as well as emergency preparedness, emergency response and safety and security training, especially to schools. The All Hazards Training Center better reflects the range of training provided by the center, according to Randy Van Dyne, assistant vice president and director of the center. Since its inception, the center has trained more than 125,000 people coast-to-coast; during 2008, it trained 11,508 people through 483 classes at 218 different locations in 20 states and Canada. The All Hazards Training Center’s mission is to develop and deliver effective and practical educational, training and consulting programs across the United States through a combination of practical “hands-on” training; varied instructional techniques in classroom, lab and field settings; state-of-the-art, distance-learning opportunities; and internships and cooperative work experience programs. To learn more about the center, visit www.allhaztraining.com The University of Findlay is also a member of the Rural Domestic Preparedness Center, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Training and Exercises Integration Division partnership. Through the RDPC, the University and five other academic institutions work to create an environment wherein rural communities across America will have the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to enhance the safety, security and quality of life for their citizens. The University of Findlay has also awarded more than 1,100 degrees through its environmental and safety academic programs, though the training center and the academic program, which awards a bachelor’s degree in environmental, safety and occupational health and a master of science in environmental, safety and health management, are now independent. |
