Starting with the initial 9-1-1 call, the video will show responders’ arrival, size-up, initial response actions, scene entry, victim rescue and treatment, decontamination techniques, and transport to a medical facility. The video emphasizes the importance of using the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) to determine responder actions for response to a transportation accident involving radioactive material. Video length is approximately 18 minutes.

Pre-hospital Practices for Handling a Radiologically Contaminated Patient

This training video will demonstrate generic medical practices on how to properly handle and manage patients contaminated with radioactive material. The techniques demonstrated in this video are generic in nature and are in no way intended to replace your local response procedures. Understanding these techniques will help you, as a responder, function with confidence during incidents that involve radioactive material. Video length is approximately 12 minutes.

Decontamination Dressdown at a Transportation Accident Involving Radioactive Material

This training video was designed to supplement the MERRTT program and has been produced to demonstrate techniques used to conduct the decontamination dressdown of responders who have entered the hot zone and are contaminated with radioactive material. Video length is approximately 15 minutes.

Law Enforcement Decontamination Dressdown

This video is specifically designed for law enforcement officers responding to incidents involving radioactive materials, providing crucial guidance on how to safely remove clothing and sensitive items, such as encrypted radios, badges, and firearms. It outlines step-by-step procedures for handling these items during decontamination, including securing them in bags, maintaining proper chain of custody, and using an equipment custodian if necessary. The video emphasizes the importance of carefully removing contaminated clothing, including outer shirts, pants, boots, and gloves, while minimizing cross-contamination.
