4. Student Performance Objectives
Know terms used or associated with WMD agents and with mechanical and nonmechanical equipment that will be used by the officer in the performance of specialized tasks or assignments. Some of this mechanical equipment would be used to remove and transport suspicious packages and/or potential bombs or explosives to a safe location or to a container. Other equipment may include robots used to remove a potential bomb or explosive device, sampling equipment to help determine WMD agents and materials, and PPE for shielding and transporting radioactive materials.

5. Student Performance Objectives
Know terms used or associated with WMD agents and with equipment that will be used by the EMS responder in the performance of specialized rescue tasks or assignments. This equipment will include PPE and medical materials used in rescue efforts in the hot zone.
Understand the terminology (including any glossary of WMD terms, chemical reference manuals, equipment manuals), classes of materials and agents, and toxicology of hazardous materials and WMD agents, and of the equipment likely to be used by HazMat responders.

6. The “Guidelines”
The Office of Domestic Preparedness (ODP) is a federal agency under the direction of the Department of Homeland Security. Part of their responsibility is to establish federal guidelines and national standards for the levels of responders at terrorism incidents. ODP has established a set of performance objectives called “Guidelines” These guidelines are intended to be met throughout the course much the same way that OHSA and NFPA establish performance objectives for successful completion of those courses.
Hazardous materials courses-including basic, operations, and technician level courses-are eligible for support through SLGCP funds only if the course fully addresses the hazardous materials sections included in the ODP Emergency Responder Guidelines and the ODP Homeland Security Guidelines for Prevention and Deterrence. If the hazardous materials course does not fully address the hazardous materials sections included in the ODP Emergency Responder Guidelines and the ODP Homeland Security Guidelines for Prevention and Deterrence, then the course is not considered an allowable use of SLGCP funds

7. Previous Courses HazMat & WMD Awareness HazMat Operations
WMD Performance-Defensive
HazMat Technician
WMD Performance -Offensive
In the Ohio HazMat and WMD Awareness course, students were taught the ODP awareness level competencies for terrorism incidents. A personal protection equipment (First Responder Kit) component of this course was given to responder agencies as needed.
The HAZMAT Operation level course gave student responders the standards known as OSHA Operations level guidelines. At the successful completion of this module of training the student has met all the OSHA requirements for Operations Level training.
Performance – Defensive course was derived from the ODP guidelines that were taught in module 2 of the HAZMAT Operations / WMD Performance – Defensive course. These were broken into five separate professions,
• Law Enforcement
• Fire Service
• Emergency Medical Services
• Hazardous Materials
• Public
The HAZMAT Technician level course gave student responders the standards known as OSHA Technician level guidelines. At the successful completion of this module of training the student has met all the OSHA competency requirements for Technician Level training.
The WMD Performance – Offensive is the premise of this course and was derived from the ODP guidelines referenced to this level of training. This course is for the HAZMAT Technician for the continued ability to offensively handle WMD hazards as well as meet the requirements of the ODP Homeland Security Guidelines for Prevention and Deterrence.
