Procedures and thresholds in human decontamination in CBRN-E incidents

Scope

This document specifies decontamination procedures and validation thresholds related to humans in CBRN-E events. The planned workshop is intended to be used by first responders and to enhance cooperation on international level. The workshop responds to regulatory gaps corresponding with the evolutionary nature of the CBRN-E crisis environment and of technological tools available for management of these events. The planned workshop does not address national regulations related to healthcare. The focus of the decontamination procedures during CBRN-E incidents is on crisis management, involving effective reaction of first responders and post-intervention treatment.
