# Columbia Safety and Emergency Response Professionals Trained Alongside the Richland County Sheriff's Department

 April 15, 2026 by [Westinghouse Electric Company](https://info.westinghousenuclear.com/columbia-community-news/author/westinghouse)

At Westinghouse, safety goes beyond our facility. It’s a shared commitment with the communities where we work and live. Recently, our Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility safety and emergency response professionals trained alongside the Richland County Sheriff's Department, South Carolina National Guard’s 43rd WMD Civil Support Team, and local emergency partners during a joint exercise. Working side by side with our community partners helps ensure we’re ready to respond quickly, safely, and effectively when it matters most. Thank you to everyone who continues to train hard and keep our community prepared for every situation!
