Respond Faster to Contain Chaos

In-house decontamination often falters under pressure, with setup times exceeding 20 minutes due to complex equipment and undertrained staff [2]. These delays can lead to secondary contamination, overwhelming emergency departments and risking patient safety [3]. Many hospitals lack the resources to maintain robust decon programs, leaving them vulnerable to hazmat incidents [4].

RRS 24/7 rapid-response system delivers pre-staged, state-of-the-art decon units that deploy significantly faster than in-house setups, aligning with industry best practices. Our trained specialists manage every step, ensuring safe, efficient decontamination. Hospitals partnering with RRS report seamless responses that keep crises under control. Don’t wait for chaos to expose your gaps—act now.

Train Smarter with Expert-Led Drills

OSHA requires at least 8 hours of operations-level training for decon staff, covering PPE, respiratory protection, and hazardous materials protocols [5]. In-house training is resource-intensive, diverting staff from critical duties and often failing to meet NFPA and The Joint Commission standards [6]. Without regular, realistic drills, teams lose confidence and readiness.

RRS hands-on training transforms teams into hazmat heroes with scenario-based drills that mirror real-world chaos, ensuring audit-proof compliance [7]. Our programs, praised for boosting responder preparedness, minimize staff burnout through short, focused sessions [8]. Invite RRS to your next meeting to explore our approach and receive our 20-point readiness checklist. Equip your team before the next crisis hits.

“RRS’s training and rapid response turned our decon program from a liability into a strength.”

Scale Effortlessly for Any Crisis

From a single contaminated patient to a mass casualty event, decon demands flexibility. Many hospitals struggle with inadequate equipment, unable to scale for large-scale incidents [9]. This forces emergency managers to divert focus from incident command to logistics, weakening the overall response [10].

Our outsourced decon program offers 24/7 pros and modular units that adapt to any incident size, ensuring efficient, compliant response. With PPE inventory management and fixed-cost operations, RRS frees your team to coordinate with EMS, fire, and public health agencies.

Lead with Confidence, Not Logistics

Decon logistics—equipment maintenance, staff training, protocol updates—consume significant time, diverting emergency managers from strategic planning and coalition-building [11]. In-house programs burden teams with high costs and compliance risks, draining resources needed for broader preparedness [12].

RRS handles all decon logistics, delivering substantial time savings and peace of mind [13]. Hospitals outsourcing to RRS redirect hours to refining incident command and regional partnerships, strengthening their crisis response [14].
