First Responder Awareness

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires hospitals to provide First Responder Awareness Level training to hospital personnel who may encounter a contaminated patient or be called upon to support the decon process, but are not part of the hospital’s Decon Team. This includes emergency department personnel, security, set-up crew, triage staff, clinicians, clerks, and others associated with the decontamination process.

The Awareness Level course is ideal for introducing the important role your hospital plays in community health services to multiple staff members, local industry officials, and pre-emergency responders. DQE will assist the hospital in qualifying for continuing education credits and will provide all necessary documentation to certify attendees in accordance with OSHA.
