Chemical decontamination guidance for health boards
This guidance provides advice to HBs in Wales on planning, preparing for, and managing, chemically contaminated patients. It describes how to manage chemically contaminated patients depending on type of contamination (caustic or non-caustic), reflecting the most recent changes to the JESIP guidance for ‘Incidents suspected to involve hazardous substances or CBRN Materials’. The key principles and arrangements needed to respond to such incidents are addressed and links are provided to key sources of information and materials that can be used to update plans and train staff.
