About Event

Chemical, Biological, Radiological and/or Nuclear (CBRN) emergencies are accidents or deliberate acts involving CBRN hazards. The umbrella term CBRN is commonly used because there are distinct similarities between these hazards, making some of the emergency preparedness and response measures common or very similar for all of them.

Nuclear and radiological hazards are linked to ionizing radiation from radioactive sources.

Chemical emergencies can occur in a number of different situations where hazardous chemicals are released into the surroundings.

Biological agents include bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites or parts thereof or products they generate.

This workshop aims to create awareness among professionals on understanding of CBRN hazards, its control measures and selection of CBRN PPEs.
