SABRE® Contamination Waiver
SABRE® Contamination Waiver – The full name is “SABRE® Contamination Waiver - SABRE® DISCLOSURE, ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE FROM LIABILITY” which must be signed by all students before participating in the voluntary contamination.
Any student who does not sign this waiver CANNOT participate in the voluntary contamination. Throughout the new manual, we will refer to this waiver as the “SABRE® Contamination Waiver” although sometimes the entire name is used.
It can be found at www.setcan.com/sabrewaiver.pdf
Instructors are REQUIRED to have their students read, understand, initial, and sign this waiver or they CANNOT participate in the voluntary contamination.
ALWAYS ENSURE!
Any students with any of the following pre-existing medical conditions listed on the SABRE® Contamination Waiver ARE NOT allowed to participate in any of the voluntary contamination exercises (Eye Disorders, Epilepsy, Heart Problems, Respiratory Problems, Lung Problems, Diabetes, High Blood
Pressure, and Other Medical Issues).
“Fit for Duty”
Any student wishing to participate in Sabre Contamination or any physical activities during Sabre related training are declared “fit for duty” by a physician. The agency is responsible to identify any individuals who are NOT fit for duty prior to training. Any fit for duty letter should include that the individual does not have any of the previously mentioned preexisting medical conditions.
Who can be voluntarily contaminated?
ONLY contaminate students in training that have:
1)Signed the SABRE® Contamination Waiver
AND
2) Are declared “fit for duty” by their physician and agency, with no restrictions that would prohibit OC exposure.
Agency Responsibility
Ensure your agency or any agency you are training have identified that OC contamination (which can occur when on duty or when requesting voluntary contamination) should be included when deeming someone fit for duty.
