Pam and Duncan from SAS SORT team talk us through information on how to handle CBRNE events and what the roles and responsibilities of the SORT and other teams play in these events, and what we can do if first on scene.
Top Tips
1) Use the steps 1,2,3 approach, uphill, uphill, scene safety, by looking after yourself you are looking after the patients
2) Consider the remove, remove, remove approach
3) Tie in with the NARU tools as this keeps you up to date on chemicals and changes to them and this will help with e.g. toxic triage
