The objective of OSHA’s 15-hour Disaster Site Worker Course is to equip workers at disaster sites with an understanding of potential safety and health risks. This includes emphasizing the significance of using respiratory and other personal protective equipment (PPE) and adhering to proper decontamination procedures to minimize these hazards.
Participants will also be trained to effectively support the Incident Command System (ICS) while safely carrying out their job responsibilities. Additionally, they will demonstrate awareness of the impact of traumatic incident stress stemming from working conditions and learn measures to mitigate and reduce this stress.

This introductory session will provide an overview of the course and its objectives. It will also cover the importance of disaster site worker training and the potential hazards faced in such environments.
Introduce the Incident Command System (ICS) and Unified Command Systems (UCS), which are organizational structures used to manage emergency incidents. Participants will learn about the various roles and responsibilities within these systems and how they work together to coordinate response efforts.
This module will cover the various safety hazards that can be encountered at disaster sites, including structural collapse, electrical hazards, fire hazards, and other physical dangers. Participants will learn how to identify and mitigate these hazards to protect themselves and others.
This Lesson will discuss the potential health hazards present at disaster sites, such as exposure to hazardous materials, biological agents, and other contaminants. Participants will learn about the signs and symptoms of these hazards and how to protect themselves from exposure.
An overview of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) agents and their potential impacts. Participants will learn about the different types of CBRNE agents, their characteristics, and how to recognize and respond to incidents involving these agents.
The psychological impact of working in disaster environments and the importance of self-care and stress management. Participants will learn about the signs and symptoms of traumatic stress and how to access support resources.
Provide in-depth training on respiratory protection, including the selection, use, and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment. Participants will learn about the different types of respirators, their limitations, and how to ensure proper fit and function.
We will cover other types of personal protective equipment (PPE) that may be necessary for disaster site workers, such as gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing. Participants will learn about the different types of PPE, their uses, and how to select and wear them properly.
The process of decontamination, which is the removal of hazardous materials from personnel and equipment. Participants will learn about the different methods of decontamination, including physical, chemical, and biological decontamination.
This final exercise will provide participants with an opportunity to practice the skills and knowledge they have learned throughout the course. The exercise will simulate a disaster site scenario and allow participants to work together as a team to respond to the incident.
