Responding to CBRN Incidents Course

Introduction

    The importance of training courses is not only limited to professional life, as most of us think but training courses aim to transfer knowledge and practical experiences that enrich the skills of individuals and enhance their self-confidence, which contributes to the preparation of cadres which in turn contributes to the development and progress of institutions. Therefore, Strategic Vision Training Center aims to enhance the skills and experiences of individuals through the strongest training programs to keep pace with every development in the labor market.

Objective

Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive accidents. The global interest has begun to increase the understanding of this type of event and the creation of appropriate management systems at the national and international levels.

CBRN Risk Assessment Department, scope prioritization, response and management are called accidents but if not managed, it can lead to disaster. We can see the effects of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive accidents and examples of these accidents are chemical agents such as organophosphates, sarin, soman and VX.

Biological agents that can cause infections and epidemics such as Ebola, anthrax and ricin. Radioactive contamination, nuclear weapons or materials such as in previous years in Fukushima in Japan 2011, Marcoule in France 2011 and Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986. Explosives either as a result of terrorist activities or as a result of accidents.

Rapid progress towards development in both developed and developing countries also requires an improved CBRN response system.

 Reducing the risk of injury to individuals or groups as a result of exposure to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials.

Course content:

• Cases of exposure to chemical, biological and radiological materials

• How to handle dangerous and radioactive chemicals

• Knowing the limits that may not be exceeded for hazardous and radioactive chemicals in the work environment

• Emergency plan to face radiological or nuclear accidents

• Knowing the equipment for protection and safety in sufficient and appropriate quantities that are commensurate with the possibilities of occupational radiation exposure or exposure of the general public and the environment

• Develop contingency plans to face events or accidents within the facility

• Classification of workplaces in terms of risk

• Full knowledge of protective clothing and equipment and appropriate means of monitoring at all entrances to the area and the provision of means to store these clothing and equipment.

• Requirements for protection in exposure to chemical, biological and radiological materials

• The health and environmental risk resulting from accidents of chemical, radiological and biological materials

• Radiation and nuclear accidents during transportation

• Obligations to store radioactive materials

• Knowing the sections of radioactive contamination in terms of the method of confrontation to:

• Internal or external personal pollution.

• Contamination of equipment and devices of all kinds.

• Local contamination such as table tops, walls, floors and roads.

• Pollution of materials such as soil, air, water, vegetation,…. etc.

• How to remove pollution resulting from chemical, biological and radiological materials?

• How to deal with chemical, biological and radiological waste

• Classification of radioactive waste

• Radioactive materials are classified according to many factors, including the physical state of these materials, the half-life of the radionuclides they contain, and the concentration of radioactivity of these nuclides, as well as other classifications such as combustible, compressible, water-soluble, and others.

• b- Radioactive materials are classified according to their physical state into solid, liquid and gaseous.

• Radioactive materials are classified in terms of the concentration of radionuclides into low-level wastes, medium-level wastes and high-level wastes.

• d- Radioactive wastes are classified in terms of the half-life of the radionuclides they contain into short, medium and long half-life.

• c- Radioactive wastes are classified according to the treatment methods into water-soluble and insoluble wastes, scalable or non-combustible wastes, ductile and non-compressible wastes. As well as other aspects of classification detailed in the detailed instructions for the management of radioactive waste.

• Responding to radiological emergencies

• Protective measures to protect workers within the restricted area

Training methods:

• Case studies and practical exercises

• Role-playing

• Work simulation exercises

• Related videos

• Visual display

• Group workshops

• Guidance

Preparing the training bag

• At Strategic Vision Training Center, we are always keen on providing the best standards for the training content we offer

• Each program and training bag should include several axes:

           Analysis - Design - Development - Implementation – Evaluation

• In addition to, specialized team in designing training materials with the best quality standards which is appropriate to the needs and variables of training

Preparation of the training environment

One of our top priorities

• Choosing a training site, which is easy to be accessed by the trainees and that the training halls are suitable for the training program in terms of quality and luxury standards that we are keen on

The following factors are taken into consideration when choosing a training hall:

•  General atmosphere (space - system - ventilation)

•  Equipment of the hall (a place for rest periods - the quality of the offered food and beverage)
