```
157
Objectives of size up sog (411)
Identify product involved
Assess nature and severity
Gather sufficient information to formulate a valid incident action plan
158
A primary consideration in the size up of any hazmat incident is the
identification of materials involved and hazards present
159
To help identify hazards personnel shall check the following
```
Labels
Placards
Markers
Shipping papers
Msds
Find and talk to the driver if possible
```
160
Success of decon is based on
Standardization

Methods of decon general methods
Dilution reduces the concentration of the containment to a less dangerous level
Absorption absorbs the contaminant but does not alter the chemical makeup
Degradation render it harmless
