training in the
field with the tools and equipment that they will use in a real
event, including chemical detectors that analyze CWA vapors.
Effective training exercises for these personnel require high fidelity
simulations of these contaminants.
The TrainSaf® Simulants will allow
dispersion of the agents in a manner that mimics the dispersion
expected for a real event. This requires high fidelity
simulation of the physical and chemical properties of the
agents.
an area and the trainees will be
expected to use their CWA detectors to determine where the
agents are located followed by decontamination of the surfaces.
The simulants are intended to be used in exercises that involve
“civilian” contamination and therefore the simulants can be used
on unprotected skin and clothing. The UV flashlight included in
the TrainSaf® kit or any other 390 nm wavelength UV
emitting “black light” bulbs may be used in a darkened area for
examination and identification of the TrainSaf® chemical
or radiological simulants. Training or exercise evaluators can use this method
to assess the effectiveness of decontamination procedures.
levels will also correlate for each simulant-agent pair; and
thus training or exercise evaluators may accomplish detection of
simulants using any detection device that can measure volatile
organic compounds (VOCs), such as a photoionization detector (PID).
This may be accomplished pre- and post-decon to evaluate
decontamination process efficacy, and evaluate critical
personnel and equipment to determine any post-decon
cross-contamination.
