What is our Goal?
The world is entering a new age of clean technology. Our goal is to provide safe transition into these new jobs.
The Clean Energy Safety and Training Council (CESAT) is here to provide training solutions for Emergency Services and Industrial Safety Services sectors.
Our team of world-renowned experts are committed to bringing safety training solutions to you.
The current training and resources available for firefighters and emergency responders is inadequate to dealing with EV fires. Response guidelines are far different for EVs than for Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) vehicles and proper training programs must be in place. Fire Trucks and equipment also are insufficient for the task of extinguishing EVs.
