USA Decon’s Trauma Scene Decontamination course is made up of two days of classroom instruction that includes certifications in Bloodborne Pathogens, Hazard Communication, Personal Protective Equipment, Confined Space, and more.  In addition to these two days in class, multiple remediation techniques will be utilized to satisfy various customer requirements and environments.

The classroom discussions will cover the Engineering, Work Practice, and Administrative Controls framework.  Through this framework, the students will be exposed to Engineering Controls such as Personal Protective Equipment (OSHA 1910.132), Bloodborne Pathogens (OSHA 1910.1030), and Respiratory Protection (OSHA 1910.134).

Upon certification in Bloodborne Pathogens, students will be compliant with OSHA1910.1030 and issued compliance card.  This certification will be issued by a Medic First Aid Certified Trainer (Registry Number 46035).

Work Practice Controls such as Confined Space (OSHA 1910.146) and Hazard Communication (OSHA 1910.1200) will also be discussed.  Administrative Controls, such as scheduling due to safety concerns, are included. 

Case studies are utilized to build a frame of reference to the compliance material.  During case studies, students are encouraged to estimate what inputs are required for the projects covered and to develop a plan of action to address the challenges of the scene.

Throughout the safety and compliance framework instruction, the applicable federal and state regulation will be addressed.   Federal regulation, such as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, is explained in its development and its relevance to the operational tasks required on trauma scenes.

Environmental law enforcement is primarily up to the local officials.  The state law that governs the actions of these local officials is explained along with the civil and criminal penalties of non-compliance.

Operational instruction will concentrate on the compliant processes, tools, equipment, chemicals, and documentation required for this type of work.

The mock-scenes encountered by our students may consist of a murder in a bed, a suicide in a bed, a murder/suicide in a den on a couch and recliner, a human decomposition on a recliner with blood spill on a couch penetrating the tile floor, biohazardous contamination in a bathroom, and a tear gas affected environment.

This course is taught by experienced technicians who have spent years in the field remediating environments affected by biological issues created by homicides, suicides, accidents, and human decompositions.  Actual scenes harbor the risk of biohazardous pathogenic infection.  This risk is communicated to students along with the importance of infection control.
