About decontamination
at terrorism incidents
In the event of a terrorist attack or other emergency involving mass contamination
by weapons of mass destruction or toxic industrial materials, emergency
responders must be prepared to decontaminate large numbers of casualties.
Speed will be critical to minimize further injury to victims and to prevent
cross contamination. Emergency responders and hospital staff should understand
the differences between technical and mass decontamination, and should
be trained in mass decon techniques.
About the
program
“Mass Decon" provides training for firefighters, emergency
medical service personnel, hospital staff, the military, and others who
may be assigned to carry out decontamination activities at terrorist incidents.
This timely program explains the reasons for mass decontamination and
illustrates techniques and procedures.
Using footage of realistic training scenarios, “Mass Decon” portrays emergency personnel responding to incidents involving terrorist agents. The program follows responders as they take steps to identify the agents involved, conduct extensive size-ups of incident scenes, set up decon areas, prepare decon solutions and apply decon water using one & two engine configurations, ladder configuration, and bridge configurations.
The program also portrays triage of victims and dealing with non-ambulatory victims, monitoring for radiation, and properly dealing with modesty issues and contaminated clothing. The importance of pre-incident planning for cold weather is stressed, and there is a comprehensive discussion of hypothermia symptoms. Other topics covered include follow-up monitoring, alternative decon set-ups, controlling run-off, mass decontamination for medical facilities, and terminating the incident.
A Leader's Guide is included
with the program that includes testing materials, ideas for field and
classroom exercises, a copy of the script for reference and additional
information on decontamination.
