BUMEDINST 3440.10
20 Nov 2008
1. The Navy Medicine FHP EMP establishes minimum training standards as required by
references (a), (e), and (o) of this section. Training standards are based on existing DoD,
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), National Fire Protection Agency
(NFPA), and military standards and guidelines as referenced in (l) and (o) of this section. These
training standards focus on the requirements for Category 1 personnel to maintain critical
operations, for Category 2-4 personnel to gain hazard awareness and understanding of warning
and response procedures, and for Category 5 personnel to conduct safe and effective operations
at their level of training.
2. NAVMEDREG and MTF EMOs shall meet the minimum training standards established by
this instruction with the ability to tailor each program based upon specific mission requirements
and incorporate their regional/installations capabilities and resources. All personnel will receive
required training through identified military, government civilian, local/State agencies, and
contractors unless otherwise noted. Training will include realistic exercises (see Standard 10)
demonstrating the level of proficiency required for training and evaluation purposes.
3. A comprehensive training continuum utilizing established standards and addressing the
requirements for initial and recurring training will be developed by BUMED for the following
areas:
a. Category 1 specific.
b. Category 2-4 specific.
c. Category 5 specific.
d. All enterprise personnel.
(1) Public awareness level training does not have to result in certification. Public
awareness level training must include general EM and CBRNE hazard information as well as
region and/or installation specific EM guidance per reference (a) of this section.
(2) All baseline didactic CBRNE training requirements will be met by the Navy
Knowledge On-line (NKO)-based CBRNE EMPRC. The EMPRC, available at:
http://www.dmrti.army.mil, is a multi-module, web-based, interactive training product. Each of
the modules is made up of multiple topics that have opportunities throughout to test knowledge
retained up to that point.
4. The EMPRC is tailored to the target audience and offered in four versions:
a. Basic Course. Non-essential civilian employees and contractors (non-medical/nonsecurity).
