PortTechLA News Releases

 

Mr. Ambrose was inspired to create HazSim because of his passion for effective training and by indentifying a critical gap in HazMat training that the HazSim device fills.

 

HazSim's training device looks and reacts like a frontline chemical or radiatioin detector commonly used by first responders worldwide, but the data on the screen is controlled by an instructor's tablet computer.  The device also has an interactive mode which sends and receives subject matter questions and answers to then users.  The device can be programmed with additonal features to fit specific occurrences for specific industries.  "We are proud of the feedback and excellent testimonials we have received from end users," said Mr. Ambrose.

 

The presentation came yesterday at the Port Tech Los Angeles' Enterprise Forum, a non-profit technology center and business incubator operated by a coalition consisting of the City of Los Angeles, Port of Los Angeles and the San Pedro and Wilmington Chambers of Commerce. Its mission is to attract and mentor companies with technologies that will enable the Port of Los Angeles, and ports worldwide, to meet their immediate and future environmental, energy, security and logistics goals.

 

HazSim is currently working with local municipal HazMat teams to provide the system at a permanent training facility.  "We expect a higher state of readiness by the personnel trained with our system, specifically those at our Ports of Entry," said Mr. Ambrose.

 

Public agencies and private industries that employ or train hazardous materials workers will benefit from the HazSim product.  "High risk occupations require solid 'hands on' training and our system provides this through realistic simulation and direct user feedback.  No agency can afford an injury or death and our system provides the tools that will lead to safer hazmat detection procedures in a cost effective manner," said Mr. Ambrose.

 

The system was perfected by subject matter experts involved with HazSim and through direct feedback from real world users.

 

HazSim is an early-stage start-up company that provides hazardous materials simulatioin training products and software.
