Description:The APHL Chemical Threat Collaborative Workgroup, in conjunction with state public health laboratories, has developed this Laboratory Response Network for Chemical Threats (LRN-C), Level 3 Resource Handbook. This guide may be used by LRN-C partners who provide Level 3 outreach and training to hospital personnel, laboratorians, first responders and personnel of other agencies that would respond to an accidental or intentional chemical release resulting in human exposure.
This document can assist CT Coordinators, Level 3 coordinators, assistant CT laboratory coordinators and others who are tasked with ensuring the proper collection, packaging and shipping of clinical specimens and subsequent testing by LRN-C laboratories following a chemical exposure event. This document does not establish a one-size-fits-all model; rather, it addresses important areas of preparedness and response that may be tailored to meet the needs of individual jurisdictions. CT Coordinators may use the information to build a robust preparedness program to identify and track the extent of exposure following a chemical release.
