Developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Plans, and Training for First Responders

CSS has a long and successful history providing health and safety, field, and analytical support for federal environmental projects. We integrate our past experience with current best practices to standardize and update procedures, templates, and plans for emergency response operations. For EPA’s Consequence Management Advisory Division, we:

  • Reviewed the Department of Homeland Security’s Planning Framework for Chemical Incident Consequence Management and assisted with the development of a Fourth Generation Agents plan;
  • Assisted with the preparation of the “Small-scale disinfection of N95 respirators” SOP;
  • Assisted in the development of the Hazardous Chemical Response Personnel Decontamination Line SOP; and
  • Revised and merged the EPA Responder and EPA Laboratory DuoDote protocols.

We also develop and deliver training for EPA’s On-Scene Coordinators (OSCs) to increase compliance with Agency procedures and protocols. For example, we:

  • Supported Bio 101 and Bio Response Training for OSCs at the OSC Academy;
  • Assist with preparation and teaching of Chem 101 presentation at the OSC Academy; and
  • Supported the Chemical Warfare Agent (CWA) Training for OSCs.
