Train Like you Play
What does that mean?
It means training and exercising with people who know what your job entails. Our Team is comprised of Active and Retired First Responders and Military Veterans. Everyone of them is considered a National Expert within the WMD/HazMat Community.
It means training with equipment you will find on your own apparatus and with materials that you will encounter during an actual event. Real meters. Real readings. No safety concerns.
It means allowing your agency, your team, your Brothers and Sisters, to test themselves and their SOGs and know what does and does not work before finding out the hard way.
Radiation is in the name, but All-Hazards is our game. Hire us, and you will experience HazMat Training that is unlike anything you have ever participated in!

The staff at REST will work directly with your agency to develop a high-end, simulation-based tabletop exercise. These exercises are tailorable to both the nature of the emergency and who the intended audience would be; Command Staff, Mid-Line Supervisors, Emergency Planners or a combination of these. A minimum of three months of planning is required for a Tabletop Exercise, and will include a minimum of two planning meetings, one of which may be a site visit.
An operations-based exercise often employed to validate one or more operations or functions. REST will work with the requesting agency to develop a drill for one or more components of a Radiation Emergency Operation (REO). Each drill will be operated independently from the others, allowing for immediate feedback. A minimum of four months of planning is required for a Functional Exercise, and will include a minimum of three planning meetings, one of which will be a site visit.
An operations-based exercise is designed to test and evaluate capabilities and functions while in a realistic, real-time environment; however, movement of resources is usually simulated. A minimum of six months of planning is required for a Functional Exercise, and will include a minimum of three planning meetings, one of which will be a site visit.
An operations-based exercise that is typically the most complex and resource-intensive of the exercise types and often involves multiple agencies, jurisdictions/organizations, and real-time movement of resources. A minimum of one year of planning time is required for a Functional Exercise, and will include a minimum of six planning meetings, two of which will be site visits.
