Public Safety WMD/Response – Sampling Techniques and Guidelines (PER-222)

This course discusses the availability of training in the proper techniques and guidelines for the collection of forensically valid samples of hazardous materials within a bio or WMD incident. The three-day course provides detailed technical information and includes hands-on practice of actions required of emergency responders in bio/WMD incidents. A major component of the course includes practical exercises allowing participants to collect forensically valid samples. All registrants should be able to provide verification of current hazmat technician-level certification, medical clearance for Level C personal protective equipment and demonstrate a “need-to-know” job function required to support, supervise and/or coordinate with individuals tasked with working in contaminated environments. A small number of seats are available to secondary participants who are not HazMat certified. Space is limited to 30 participants.
