Hospital Decontamination

This class may be formatted into an 8-, 10-, or 12-hour format, depending on the needs of the customer. This class fulfills the OSHA recommendations for training of so-called “First Receivers,” as defined in the recently released OSHA Best Practices for Hospital Based First Receivers of Victims from Mass Casualty Incidents Involving Release of Hazardous Substances, published in January 2005. The class is divided into 4 modules. Module topics include HAZCOM awareness, decontamination practices, and practical exercises in decontamination procedures and use of PPE. The difference in course length is to accommodate the training needs of different facilities. The equipment capability of hospitals varies greatly, even within urban areas, so it is necessary to have a consultant visit the facility prior to presenting the class. In many cases, federal funding is available from the Metropolitan Medical Response System or HRSA regional stewardship sources.
