| | In the Ohio HazMat and WMD Awareness course, we were taught the ODP awareness level |
| | competencies for terrorism incidents. For Operation Level Responders these standards are known |
| | as Performance Level Guidelines. |
| | Performance Level Guidelines are broken into five separate professions, Law Enforcement, Fire |
| | Service, Emergency Medical Services, Hazardous Materials, and Public Works. Each profession is |
| | subdivided into two separate competencies, Performance Level A for Operations level responders |
| | and Performance Level B for technician level responders. |
| | The following text will provide basic knowledge and understanding of these guidelines. All |
| | professions have some baseline competencies that are shared with each group. Each profession |
| | has certain competencies that are specific it only. |
| | The HAZMAT Awareness and WMD Awareness courses were integrated together in the first of this |
| | homeland security training series offered by the State of Ohio Security Task Force. You must |
| | have successfully completed that course in order to proceed to the HAZMAT Operations |
| | (Performance Level A) training offered in this module. |
