Decontamination is the reduction of contamination to lower the risk of further harm to contaminated casualties and to lower the risk of cross-contamination. This e-learning module gives an overview of recognising a CBRN incident; evacuating the scene; the disrobe process and the decontamination process involved in protecting human life. The course is based around a scenario featuring the story of three people caught up in a CBRN incident at a shopping centre. You can observe different characters in the scenario and make decisions for them as the narrative unfolds.
