Become a registered Safety Assessment Evaluator!
6 HSW Units for AIA Members
Training Description:
Cal-OES SAP Evaluator Training for post-disaster building Safety Assessment Program (SAP) provides architects, engineers, and building inspectors with the knowledge to provide valuations of facilities and buildings in the aftermath of a disaster.
Disasters create terrible consequences, forcing people out of their homes into temporary shelters and closing down communities. With SAP trainers able to deploy into an affected area, they can quickly evaluate damaged structures, identifying those that are safe for occupancy, while marking those that are unsafe or have restricted use.
Eligible Participants:
All building industry professionals are welcome. In addition, the following licensed practitioners will be eligible to perform post-disaster assessments after successfully completing SAP training as a certified California Disaster Service Worker:
Professionally licensed architects (from any state)
Professionally registered civil, structural, or geotechnical engineers (from any state)
Professionally registered geologists or engineering geologists
ICC and ACIA certified building inspectors or officials and public works inspectors.
The Safety Assessment Program utilizes volunteers and mutual aid resources to provide professional engineers and architects and certified building inspectors to assist local governments in safety evaluation of their built environment in an aftermath of a disaster. The program is managed by Cal OES with cooperation from professional organizations. SAP produces two resources, SAP Evaluators, described above, and SAP Coordinators, which are local government representatives that coordinate the program.
Objectives:
Participants will review protocol for working with and assisting local governments in the aftermath of an emergency.
Participants will learn to evaluate building safety in the aftermath of a disaster.
Participants (licensed civil engineers, architects, or certified building inspectors) will be trained as credentialed persons to be SAP Evaluators to work in the field posting buildings.
Participants will learn how to mentor others on health, safety, welfare evaluations.
