Command Staff RN Operations Awareness
Command Staff RN Operations Awareness
The Command Staff of agencies who perform radioactive energy detection operations, or who are considering starting such a program, are generally faced with a lot of uncertainty, including worker safety, financial impact and liability concerns to name a few. Law Enforcement Agencies are often concerned with 4th Amendment applications while the Fire Service needs their members to know how to accurately assess the health impacts of operating in dangerous levels of radiation during lifesaving operations. The staff at REST have decades of experience in all public safety domains and can provide this critical information to your Command Staff at an informal workshop that will include a basic tabletop exercise to visualize your program’s abilities.
Radiological Detection Equipment Purchase
Radiological Detection Equipment Purchase
Is your agency preparing for a large radiological detector purchase, either as a new program or to modernize and existing cache? One of the most important decisions that can impact the outcome and effectiveness of your program is choosing the right detector for the right mission. With such a wide range of available equipment as well as manufacturers who will always tell you their equipment is the ‘best product out there’, making a five or six figure purchase can be a daunting and risky task if you are unfamiliar with this process. Let the staff at REST, who have used or trained with nearly every type of detector on the market, take the pressure of you by providing an independent assessment of which detectors will pair best with your program.
Radiation Emergency Policy Development
Radiation Emergency Policy Development
While radiation emergencies, whether by accident or attack, are rare, they could have a catastrophic impact on your community. This represents a High Risk – Low Frequency event and requires very clear and concise policies, procedures and training in order to affect the best possible outcome. Additionally, these events will involve the entire emergency response community: Fire, Police, EMS, Hospitals / First Receivers, Emergency Planners, etc. Because of this, not only do your policies need to be effective for your agency, but they also cannot live in a vacuum and must mesh with the other responding agencies you will be working with. Let the staff at REST assist you in developing or updating radiation emergency policies and procedures to ensure you can keep your staff safe and your responsibilities functioning. Remember, your policy is only as good as the last time you trained to it.
