Facilities

The Environmental Training Centeršs Cincinnati facility is located at 415 S. Cooper Avenue. The facility consists of an administrative office, a large high bay hands-on workshop area and two classrooms (20 x 32 & 16 x 30).  Both classrooms are equipped with  a computer, TV, VCR, overhead and slide projectors. One room is equipped with a computer for projection of course material onto a 35-inch color monitor and for student research of Internet sources for pertinent material relating to course subject matter. The other room is equipped with a LCD projector for projection of class material. The Center has a room mockup within the high bay area. The room is complete with windows, doors, floor and ceiling. This room can be used to establish a negative pressure enclosure with the application of poly, tape, critical barriers and negative air machines. Negative pressure can be measured with our manometer. Exercises can be accomplished in, around the building, and at the perimeter of the property.  The Center has half face, full face and PAPR respirators and the capability to perform respirator fit testing using irritant smoke.  Air monitoring equipment (high & low flow pumps) is also available. Other equipment included heat guns, water sprayers, scrappers, chemical removal materials (this is simulated with non-caustic materials), and sampling equipment (soil coring, dust templates, baby wipes, vials and bottles for various samples such as water, soil and dust).
