Everyday hazardous materials emergencies occur across the country and range from small to very large. So where do people go when they become contaminated by a hazardous substance and are experiencing pain and discomfort and potentially a life threatening situation? They go to the hospital because that is where we are taught to go from a very early age. This book is the culmination of the authors 22 years of experience, education, and research into the world of hazardous materials emergency response. This book brings that experience and industry best practices to the hospital first receivers that are on the front lines dealing with these types of incidents on a daily basis. Protection of staff from hazardous substance contaminated patients is mandated by OSHA under CFR 1910.120. This book will help your hospital to protect the staff, patients and the facility by developing an understanding of the risks and dangers associated by these types of incidents and to develop a solid decontamination program to train staff, conduct exercises, and be ready when it happens.
