Practice the mission.
Use role-specific instruction, scenarios and hands-on work that reflect the team’s real procedures and environment.
Capture what changed.
Record participation, observed performance and the next actions needed to sustain or validate capability.
Start With Evidence
Not sure which training gap matters most?
ORI™ can help identify where documented preparedness may not translate into operational performance. D2EMC can then build targeted training around the highest-priority gaps and use exercises to observe whether improvement carries into performance.
ORI™ is a proprietary, D2EMC-administered advisory assessment—not certification, accreditation, a regulatory inspection or government approval.
Why D2EMC
Completion records document participation. Observed performance provides evidence of capability.
Training is led by practitioners who have worked in military medicine, state-level HazMat leadership, hospital readiness assessment and disaster medicine education.
- 01Founder-led expertise
Senior operational experience stays close to scope, instruction and coaching.
- 02Your people. Your equipment.
On-site practical work reflects the environment where the mission must happen.
- 03Standards-aware
Applicable OSHA requirements, selected NFPA 470 competency areas, HICS/ICS doctrine and organizational procedures inform scope.
- 04Built to improve
Observed gaps become priorities for refreshers, exercises and follow-up observation.
Training Questions
Clear answers before you request a scope.
D2EMC recommends the course, delivery format and documentation after understanding what the team must be able to do.
01Can training be customized around our facility and equipment?
Yes. D2EMC can adapt the objectives, scenarios, practical stations and assessment criteria to your hazard environment, assigned roles, plans, physical layout and equipment. That is especially important for hospital decontamination, PPE and team-response programs.
02What delivery formats are available?
Programs may be delivered on-site, virtually or in a blended format. Practical PPE, decontamination and team-performance objectives usually require an on-site component; knowledge and leadership content may also work virtually.
03Does D2EMC offer hospital first-receiver HAZWOPER training?
Yes. D2EMC offers role-based training designed to support the operations-level competencies identified in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(q)(6)(ii) for personnel assigned to receive or decontaminate contaminated patients. The employer remains responsible for determining job- and site-specific needs, evaluating competency, making any certification required by OSHA and maintaining applicable procedures, PPE, respiratory-protection and refresher requirements.
04What documentation does leadership receive?
Documentation depends on scope and may include a training roster, completion records, observed-performance documentation, evaluator observations, identified equipment or procedure issues, and prioritized follow-up actions.
05Can training be based on ORI™ findings or an exercise AAR?
Yes. ORI™, targeted assessments, after-action reports and improvement plans can help identify the specific capability gap the training should address. This creates a clearer line from evidence to corrective action and later observation through drills or exercises.
06How do we receive a training quote?
Use the Request Training form to tell us about your audience, objectives, location, desired timing and current challenge. D2EMC will recommend the appropriate scope and provide a specific proposal after the initial conversation.
