| DECON Disaster Life Support™ (NDLS-D™) |
The ability to decontaminate a large number of victims of a chemical, biological, or radiological event will require large numbers of personnel properly trained and equipped to provide decontamination. Although healthcare providers in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will be needed to render immediate care and triage victims, the majority of the workforce to provide decontamination in a disaster of this nature should be non-clinical, hospital based personnel. NDLS-DECON™ is designed to meet this need by providing introductory training for hospital based decontamination. NDLS-DECON™ provides flexibility permitting training to be customized to specific equipment and site features. The components of the NDLS-DECON™ program include: |

Target Audience:

| Class size: 60 maximum. |
| Pre-requisites: None |
