C1) Safety Assessment Program (SAP) Evaluator Training & Certification*
Presented by Steve McGuire
Class Description:
This class trains civil engineers, architects, and building inspectors to do field evaluations of buildings and other infrastructure for safety after a disaster. This training provides professionals with information to quickly evaluate damaged structures, identifying those buildings that people can return to, while marking those that are unsafe or have restricted use. It accepts civil, structural, geotechnical, and architect licenses from any state, along with many ICC building inspector certifications. The program works in compliance with ICS, SEMS and NIMS.
