Summary:
"Protection of first responders (FRs) during a chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) event involves a well-integrated approach by all levels of the government. The standard CAN/CGSB/CSAZ1610-11 Protection of First Responders from Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) events provides a risk-based guidance to first responders and management regarding protection during a CBRN event. Part A of this report outlined the strategies and performance criteria to ensure the successful implementation of an individual system qualification (ISQ) respiratory protection program for first responders in a CBRN event, a mandatory part of the standard CSA Z1610-11. The objectives listed below are addressed in this report to support implementation of methodologies for an adequate ISQ program with compliance to best practices recommended in the standard CAN/CGSB/CSA-Z1610-11. Several stakeholders, including the Royal Military College, participated in optimizing the recommended procedure for knowledge transfer and implementation to different organisations. These objectives are as follows: Educate first responders on proper use of respiratory protection programs, donning of respirators, sizing, doffing, maintenance through standard operating procedures and compliance with standards Z1610-11; disseminate technical knowledge to managers and trainers of first responders interested in written respiratory protection programs (RPP) based on Z1610-11 for CBRN respirators; prepare and provide standard operating procedures, which standardize user instructions and training as per stakeholder's interest"--Abstract.
