The University of Findlay is developing a series of brief, hard-hitting, high quality reviews that will be referred to as “Roll Call” training. Intended for safety briefings at the beginning of each shift, or at any other convenient time a rural emergency responder group is brought together for safety oriented meetings, the product will be a series of training vignettes that can be viewed on-line or on DVD at any time. Roll call training topics can be viewed repeatedly, are short and hard hitting. Course Dates: Dates and Locations to be determined Hospital Decontamination This course is designed specifically for rural hospitals. It provides hospital personnel with the skills necessary to decontaminate patients exposed to chemical, radiological and biological agents. Topics covered in the course include: characteristics of chemical, radiological and biological agents; personal protective equipment; respiratory protection; JCAHO and OSHA requirements; and a review of existing decontamination plans and best practices. Practical hands-on exercises are also a component of the course in order to provide the participants the opportunity to use and deploy decontamination equipment and supplies, just as they would use in a real incident.
