Are You Ready to Wear?
A workshop on selecting PPE for the first responder in a CRRN event
As a first responder to a potential CBRN event, do you really know what questions you should
be asking when you select your personal protective equipment (PPE)? CRTI project Protecting
the first responder against CB threats has developed guidance that includes a series of tools to
help responders plan their response and select the most appropriate PPE based on indicators of
the event, pre-assigned roles and responsibilities, and organizational capabilities. Responders
attending this workshop will learn about the nature of the projects recommendations, the
strengths and shortcomings of existing styles of equipment, and will participate in a tabletop
exercise walking through two example scenarios in real-time to assist responders in
understanding how to apply these tools. Feedback from the participants will be implemented into
future versions.
