The main focus of this training is to build the capacity of First Responders in the ECA States Parties to quickly and accurately characterize and contain a chemical incident, during initial response phase; as well as to acquire basic knowledge and skills on the use of WISER/ERG towards identification of toxic chemical and containment/distancing. Its objective is to demonstrate how WISER could provide a wide range of information on hazardous substances, including hazard identification, protective distance plotting and containment.
