Before every Rochester training engagement, our instructors conduct a site assessment of your facility — reviewing floor plans, entry/exit points, security infrastructure, and existing emergency protocols. AVIRT scenarios are then designed around your specific building, job roles, and risk profile. A scenario for a Rochester photonics lab looks nothing like one for a university lecture hall or a Finger Lakes winery event venue.
