Overview: Disaster job sites differ from normal construction or demolition sites. Therefore, Disaster Site Workers’ roles and responsibilities on the job site are not the same either. Whether the disaster is natural or man-made, the on-site worker needs to develop an awareness of safety and health hazards that may be encountered. Enabling Disaster Site Workers to recognize that they have a responsibility to make decisions and choices that will positively affect their personal health/safety and that of others at the site is a primary theme of this 16-hour awareness course. Learners are given the opportunity to practice their new knowledge, skills and attitudes through discussion, planned exercises, demonstrations and presentations. The ability to immediately apply this new learning to their role as a disaster site worker is enhanced by participating in this interactive, instructor-led course.Audience and Prerequisites: Because the Disaster Site Worker Course does not cover in detail the safety and health hazards that occur on a daily basis on a normal construction site, completion of the OSHA Construction Outreach Training Course (10-hours) is a prerequisite for attendance. With the exception of the lesson on CBRNE agents, the curriculum for this course applies equally to natural and man-made disasters. Should this course be given for workers who will be expected to respond primarily to natural disasters, trainers should supply additional material relevant to the specific type of disaster that is anticipated. In all cases, the objectives listed in this manual for each lesson must be met. Overall Course Goal: Given a job at a natural or man-made disaster site, the participant will be aware of the safety and health hazards, including CBRNE agents, that may be encountered as well as of the importance of respiratory and other personal protective equipment and proper decontamination procedures that may be used to mitigate the hazards. Participants will support the use of an Incident Command System through the safe performance of their job responsibilities. They will be able to show awareness of effects of traumatic incident stress that can result from working conditions and measures to reduce this stress. In addition, participants will be able to perform the following specific tasks correctly: 1) inspection of an air-purifying respirator, 2) donning and doffing an air-purifying respirator, and 3) respirator user seal check.
