The workshop was held at UNIMAS City Campus from 25 to 27 July 2023.
The workshop was aimed at creating awareness among the medical practitioners on the use of CBRNE elements as weapon and preparing the practitioners in responding to such casualties. This workshop was attended by 100 participants comprising medical practitioners from hospitals and clinics in Sarawak.
The speakers who lectured in this workshop were SEARCCT’s established local trainers from the Malaysian Armed Forces, Royal Malaysia Police, Ministry of Health, Department of Chemistry Malaysia, Fire and Rescue Department and Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB). The workshop began with an Opening Remark by Dr. Ngain Hie Ung, Director of Sarawak General Hospital.
During the three days workshop, participants were exposed to various CBRNe subjects ranging from the basics of CBRNe, mode of dispersal and managing post attack situations to emergency decontamination. The workshop provided them an insight on the significance of understanding the roles of other agencies in the event of CBRNe incidents.
The workshop concluded with a full demonstration of the CBRNe First Response Operation by the Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) Team of the Fire and Rescue Department and Medical Team from Sarawak General Hospital followed by Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) usage.
