Program Y
Program Y is a combination of the WMD Emergency Medical Services course (PER-267) and the WMD Hands-On Training (8-Hour) course (CDP 02-006).
PER-267 Course Description
WMD EMS is a three-day course offering lectures, hands-on training, and practical exercises. The lectures include CBRNE incident management; treatment of victims of exposure to chemical, biological, and radiological hazards, as well as explosions. Hands-on training modules provide the emergency medical responder with the knowledge and skills to perform triage operations while in PPE and to perform decontamination of victims. In the Cold Lanes, emergency medical responders have an opportunity to practice additional treatment protocols and transport and tracking procedures. EMS culminates on the third day with a practical exercise involving skills learned during the course.
CDP 02-006 Course Description
The WMD Hands-On Training (8-hour) course is an eight-hour course that provides the responder with hands-on practical exercises that give the responder the ability to perform triage and decontamination procedures, classify residual contamination through the use of survey and monitoring equipment, and conduct scene survey and safety. As part of the eight contact hours for this course, the responder performs hazardous materials technician operations at a toxic agent training facility.
