The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that employees trained at the First Responder Operations Level receive annual Refresher Training of sufficient content and duration to maintain their competencies, or shall demonstrate competency in those areas at least yearly. The hospital must document that refresher training was performed, or alternatively, keep a record of how the employee demonstrated competency.
DQE Refresher Training is for Decon Team members previously trained by DQE and certified to the Operations Level to help them sustain skills, refresh their knowledge base, participate in a functional exercise, and meet OSHA requirements.
