Transportation Emergency Preparedness Program (TEPP)

The video will demonstrate basic response techniques to a transportation accident involving radioactive material. 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.

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.

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.
