Kern Medical will decide what level of training is appropriate for hazardous materials and bioterrorism events, including use of personnel protective equipment. The hospital will identify the types of actions expected of Kern Medical personnel at a scene (especially in bio-hazard and chemical treatment situations). Training decisions should be based on whether Kern Medical personnel will be in the vicinity of materials that are causing the event. References exist in the following documents: OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(q) CALOSHA Title 8 CCR 5192(q) General Safety Training All Kern Medical staff are required to have general safety training and training in appropriate actions to take in an emergency.

Kern Medical training personnel will work with the Safety Officer to integrate safety training with disaster response training.
