Course Descriptions

Awareness

Awareness training is designed for individuals who may be in a position to recognize a CBRN incident, but would not be in a position to respond (e.g., public transit operators, building operators and mail room staff). The intent is to provide these individuals with information on how to recognize potential CBRN threats, protect themselves, and alert those who need to respond.

Basic Level

Basic training is designed for individuals who may be in a position to recognize and respond to a CBRN incident, but would not be the ones to intervene (e.g., 911 operators, police, fire-fighters and emergency medical services personnel first arriving on scene). The intent is to provide these individuals with training on how to recognize potential CBRN threats and incidents, protect themselves, and respond accordingly (i.e., first to arrive on scene assess the situation, and call in specialists as required).
