Intermediate Hands-On Training for CBRNE Incidents

The Intermediate Hands-On Training for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) Incidents course provides participants with hands-on practical exercises that reinforce their ability to perform triage and decontamination procedures and classify residual contamination using various monitoring equipment. As part of the one-day course, participants also perform mass-casualty, decontamination, and monitoring operations within a toxic-agent training facility while wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) Level C. The HOT-I course reinforces the skills that are necessary for a safe and effective response to a CBRNE incident.

Below are some, but not all, of the critical skill sets learned during this training program:

• Use PPE in a CBRNE environment.
• Operate sampling and monitoring equipment to detect both radiological and chemical contaminates.
• Conduct mass casualty triage operations while wearing PPE.
• Conduct mass decontamination and technical decontamination operations.
