Chapter 1 CBRN Response Overview 1. INTRODUCTION After completing this chapter, participants will be able to: • describe the purpose of the CBRN First Responder Training Program; and, • describe the purpose of the Basic Level course. 1.1 CBRN First Responder Training Program Welcome to the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) First Responder Training Program. The purpose of this program is to standardize the level of preparedness of first responders who may be in a position to respond to CBRN incidents. In so doing, it is hoped that the program will foster competent and confident responders. This Basic Level Course will enhance responder ability to recognize, survive, and respond to, but not intervene in, a CBRN incident. It focuses on the needs of those who will be the first to arrive on scene or those who may otherwise be the first professionals presented with the results of a terrorist CBRN incident. This includes police, fire, emergency medical workers, emergency call centre operators and dispatchers, first aid providers, poison control, Public Health workers, pharmacists, hospital staff, environment inspectors, and quarantine officers. This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive; many other RECOGNIZE SURVIVE RESPOND groups may be involved in this basic line of response and defence. This multi-agency response may face overwhelming tasks, which will dictate that responders embrace duties beyond their normal roles. Many professionals have specific roles to play, but are restricted to responding within the limitations of the available protective equipment. They must recognize as early as possible that an event has occurred, be prepared to provide services, and be ready to call in specialists. First responders must learn to restrict their attempts to aid victims in contexts where their actions will put them in direct jeopardy. Knowledge gained through this course will help responders to make informed decisions regarding these situations. Responders already have the training, experience, and expertise enabling them to perform their daily responsibilities. They are skilled, dedicated, professionals. This CBRN First Responder Training Program provides information intended to supplement established skills and enable responders to deal with new challenges specific to a CBRN terrorist incident.
