NRBC (Nuclear, Radiological, Biological, and Chemical) risks represent one of the most serious threats to public health and the environment. Most exceptional situations (such as epidemics like COVID-19, industrial hazards, terrorist threats, etc.) require a strong mobilization of the healthcare system. It is essential that healthcare facilities are prepared and equipped to face these extraordinary situations.
To address these complex scenarios, MEDICAL PROCESS supports hospitals and consulting firms in evaluating and upgrading their equipment, particularly NRBC decontamination showers and the storage and/or treatment tanks for the resulting liquid effluents.
MEDICAL PROCESS effluent storage tanks provide a reliable and safe solution for managing the initial potentially contaminated effluents from NRBC decontamination showers. These tanks are carefully sized by our team and constructed using high-quality materials and advanced filtration systems. Additionally, our stations can be equipped with real-time monitoring devices, alarm reporting, and more. However, hospitals must be prepared to handle a larger flow of contaminated effluents. In such cases, the use of a deployable outdoor containment tarp may be an additional option. An action plan must be in place in every hospital, as detailed in the “ plan blanc ” below.
Further information: The plan blanc refers to the set of planned measures within a healthcare facility to manage a massive influx of victims. It is based on an extensive risk analysis affecting the facility and outlines the measures, human resources, and equipment needed for crisis management. Each regional healthcare facility must produce a plan blanc and submit it to the Regional Health Agency (ARS). [Link to the guide for developing a plan blanc for healthcare facilities]
