Description and Reviewers' Comments
A laminated set of cards provides first responders with education on personal protective equipment (PPE) and also identifies which types of PPE are appropriate for particular emergencies and contamination zones. Although most emergency responders will possess training in PPE use, these cards could serve as a pocket guide for first responders who may be augmenting an emergency response effort. The authors caution, however, that individual emergency response departments or health jurisdictions may have different guidelines, and first responders should act within the guidance of the authoritative agency.
