Terrorism preparedness training for occupational health professionals.
The objective of this study was to assess occupational health professionals' terrorism preparedness and perceptions of worksite readiness. ⋯ Relatively brief training in terrorism preparedness can increase the confidence of occupational health professionals in their ability to respond to terrorism. Adequate preparedness for the broad range of potential terrorist events may require much more intensive training than is currently being provided to occupational health professionals.
