Labware Recognition Course

Whether it’s a beaker, flask, addition funnel or some other piece of labware DSI has a class. Not only do we focus on traditional labware and processes, but we also focus on clandestine and makeshift labware and process. Depending upon your knowledge base DSI has 2, 3 and 5 day classes available for your team members.

Emergency Vehicle Operations Course (EVOC)

DSI’s instructors are some of the best in the United States. There are many locations around the country that DSI has access to provide EVOC training. However our primary locations are in Washington state.

Decontamination (DECON) Training

Decontamination is a key element in a successful HAZMAT or CBRNe situation. Keeping the contaminants in the hot zone and not in the cold zone is the goal of every first responder and Incident Cmdr. It is incredibly important to understand your equipment and how to use it. Therefore DSI sends a mobile training team to your location for hands-on training. DSI can also assess your teams equipment, procedures and capabilities and assist you in updating and modernizing your capabilities.

Lab Process Recognition

As a first responder it is key to your survival to be able to recognize laboratory processes. Whether a Fentanyl lab, homemade explosives or chemical warfare agent lab, knowing the difference may save your life. We have many different classes to select from, so just send us an email in will get the proper information into your hands.

Equipment and Instrumentation Training

Understanding how to use your equipment is one of the most important necessities of a team. Trusting your equipment, team members and processes are key to a successful outcome. All of DSI’s team members have operated the same equipment that your organization or team has. We are intimately aware of their efficiencies, deficiencies and maintenance needs. DSI is also happy to assist you with any repair or maintenance of your equipment. Again we have many classes to choose from so send us an email for more information on your team’s needs.

Firearms Training in PPE

Most agencies personnel find it easy to fire a weapon. However when we don level A, B or C HAZMAT equipment all of that changes. When we have multiple layers of plastic between our eyes and the gunsight things change. When we have multiple layers of gloves on our hands things change. When we have PPE covering our ears or making noise things change. It is our obligation to provide you with the lessons learned over the years to make the adjustments needed to send around downrange. It is also important to understand how to deal with firearms that have been in the hot zone and how to preprocess and DECON your weapons.
