Well-prepared individuals know how to protect themselves and others when facing a hazmat accident or a CBRNE attack.
Today’s firefighters, HAZMAT specialists, law enforcement officers, security teams, military personnel, and other emergency responders require frequent training to stay prepared.
FLIR Systems, Four-Time Winner of the 2016 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, including Top Honors for Best CBRNE Detection System, has launched a new educational resource, FLIR PRIMED (Prepare, Recognize, Input, Monitor, Experience, Decision).
In FLIR PRIMED episode 12, Grant Coffey, retired Portland Fire & Rescue Hazmat Team Coordinator and CBRNE expert, provides a brief overview of what a GC-MS can do:
GC-MS is the gold-standard confirmatory technology used by labs to analyze chemical samples, but the need for this capability extends beyond the lab and into the field.
Did you know a GC-MS can be used to identify narcotics and the opioid sub-class?
Fentanyl is a growing opioid epidemic and poses a significant threat to responders.
This episode provides a brief overview of what a GC-MS can do:
- Like the types of chemicals it can identify
- How it complements other detection technologies in the responder tool kit, and
- The field applications it supports
FLIR is leveraging their vast knowledge, expertise and connections to bring free educational videos to first responders online.
This quick video explains overall concepts from how to stay prepared.
