Included in each module are activities and exercises that are designed to allow participants to apply the information covered during the module. At the completion of this course, participants will be able to: • Predict the likely behavior of hazardous materials involved in a WMD incident. • Identify the containers, container markings, and determine whether hazardous materials are involved. • Effectively work and communicate within the Incident Command System. • Utilize previously gathered information, survey the incident scene and surrounding area, identify unique hazards present at a WMD incident, and help determine the size and scope of an incident and communicate this information to the appropriate parties. • Discuss the proper and most effective type of detection equipment needed during a WMD event. • Determine appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for a given hazardous material, as well as don, doff, and work in personal protective equipment. • Identify defensive options, implement defensive strategies, and determine the effectiveness of those defensive strategies. • Describe the need and purpose of decontamination and perform emergency decontamination procedures.
