Hiller Systems, located in Chesapeake Virginia, has been conducting training for the USCG Inspection Teams since 2004. This annual course serves as an indoctrination for all newly assigned USCG inspectors and any experienced inspectors that require a refresher course. During their 1 or 2 day course, inspectors are exposed to every type of shipboard fire fighting system they may encounter on vessels and cover basic components of each system such as time delays, manual release mechanisms and basic system operation and maintenance. The inspectors also learn everything they need to know to properly inspect each system. How often the systems require inspection, what type of inspections are required for each system and how to test each system.
"This course has been extremely beneficial to the USCG Inspection Teams in training newly assigned inspectors as well as seasoned inspectors. Giving the inspectors the tools they need to properly inspect these systems and make sure everyone is safe while inspecting the systems and after the inspection....that's why we do this." - Dave Faller, Senior Instructor, Hiller Systems.
"Hiller Systems helps get our teams up to speed much faster then just relying on [on the job training]. Even our more experienced inspectors learn something new when they attend this course. We truly appreciate everything that Hiller Systems does for the USCG in this effort." - USCG Inspection Teams.
