Modern Day Decon (MDD) 8-Hours

In this 8-hour session taught by Right Track Response Solutions, participants will be instructed in the principles and operational application of modern decontaminants (decon) and tools to make decon easier and more effective on transportation incidents. Decon processes have been relatively unchanged for 100+ years, this course explores how we can be more effective and efficient in decon. Discussions include decon for synthetic opioids, chemical warfare agents, biological warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals/toxic industrial materials, and other emerging threats in transport. Other topics discussed will include decon in cold vs. warm weather, post-fire decon, disinfection, and decon with a smaller footprint. Recommended Standard Operating Guidelines (SOGs) will be presented, as well as the integration of MDD into existing SOG's and agency operating procedures. Participants will demonstrate their knowledge during hands on practical exercises involving transportation incidents.

Tactical advantages help responders win the war. Wipe, Apply, Remove, Shower (WARS®), is a new concept that will help responders properly perform Decon. The attendee will also learn the five things to consider when determining the type of Decon to set up for the situation which are, Chemical properties, Location of contamination, Environmental conditions, Amount of contamination, and Net time of exposure (CLEAN®). Each of these concepts are part of a system that will guide responders in the proper decon application and type, to increase effectiveness and reduce potential exposure.

Who Should Attend: This course is intended for firefighters, police officers, government employees, military personnel, and private industry emergency responders and professionals who could be asked to perform decon on a potential hazardous material emergency or job including a rail line or highway incident.
