A contaminated patient probably doesn’t make an appointment.
When a hazmat incident sends patients to your door, your staff has minutes to respond — and the decisions made in those first moments determine whether your facility contains the situation or becomes part of it. One contaminated patient, managed incorrectly, can compromise your entire emergency department and the personnel in it.
Our Hazardous Materials Patient Decontamination course prepares hospital staff to set up and manage decontamination systems quickly and correctly — establishing zones, triaging patients, applying proper decon techniques, and protecting staff through appropriate PPE selection and use. Every skill is practiced hands-on, because when it happens, there’s no time to remember a slide deck.
This course is built for anyone involved in your facility’s emergency response — ER personnel, security teams, administrative staff, and anyone else who may be on the front line when a contaminated patient arrives.
