The paperwork and knowledge to fill it out properly and legally is the biggest challenge,  risk assessments , waste transfer notes, method statements etc all need to be precise, I did my training at the national flood school in Farnham.

National flood school have a house they use for flood training, on the trauma course they set up a room as a bio hazard scene, blood and guts everywhere, you get talked through and shown how to do this legally and properly.

Nobody else does this, far better than being shown slides all day.

NACSC brendan. I did the course a few years ago. If I were you I would spend the money on something floor care related equipment or training. You will achieve similar rates and without the danger that comes with Cts decon

Wow! A subject I know something about!

I took a job as a PO and to put it mildly, run for the hills. It is disgusting. Assume Every job will carry the risk of exposure to Hep A,B and C.  Assume HIV and anything else scary. Add to that pee and poop rubbed over the walls and that's what wrecked prison cells look like.  There is also the real chance that you could be exposed to many types of drug residue, You will risk taking a trip on bath salts like a number of officers I served with did after touching it during a cell search.

Also, please factor in the huge amount of time you'll waste at the gates and as landings are locked to allow you to work. If you worked 8 hours on site expect two going through searches and waiting for escorts.

Unless you are getting huge money, avoid it if you can.
