Q

The Following 10 sections present typical hazmat strategies and tactics

A

Notification and request assistance
Isolation and scene control
Control zones
Protections of responders
Protection of the public
Protection of the environment and property
Product control
Fire Control
Emergency decontamination
Evidence preservation

25
There are three control zones
Hot Zone Warm Zone Cold Zone
26
Control zones provide scene control required at hazmat and terrorist incident they (4)
Minimize contamination Prevent interference by unauthorized persons help regulate first responders movements within the zones Help ensure accountability of all personnel operating at large multiagency response incidents
27
Hot Zone is
AKA exclusion zone or isolation zone is the potentially dangerous area surrounding an incident
28
Warm Zone is
AKA contamination reduction Zone/Corridor is an area adjoining the hot zone and extending to the cold zone
29
The Warm Zone is for (3)
Isolating contaminated tools equipment and PPE Decontaminating victims, personnel, animals, and equipment Staging for back up personnel and equipment
30
Cold Zone is
AKA support zone, surrounds the warm zone and is used to carry out all logistical support functions of the incident
31
Cold zone includes (2)
Command post Staging area
32
3 Other support teams within the cold zone include
Criminal investigation team Logistical support team Research Team
33
Common post common identifiers include (4)
Visibly distinct command vehicles ( With designated permanent or removable vehicle signage) Marked building or tent Pennants, Flags or signs Marking lights such as vehicle hazard lights
34
Some department use ____ staging or also call _____ Staging
Corner/ Quarter
35
in the U.S FBI establishes and evidence search perimeter
1.5 times the distance of the farthest known piece of evidence
36
Additional Protective actions include (6)
Time, Distance and shielding Appropriate PPE Buddy systems and backup personnel Accountability of all personnel Evacuation and escape procedures Situation awareness
37
AHJ must (4)
Issue PPE Train responders to select, use, maintain, and dispose of PPE Ensure responders use PPE properly and whenever necessary Provide medical exams and or fit testing as required by OHSA standards prior to using certain types of PPE
38
Three main categories of protective clothing
Structural fire fighting protective clothing High temperature protective clothing Chemical protective clothing (CPC) -------Liquid splash protective clothing -------Vapor protective clothing
39
Mayday has to be declared if
an entry team member is unable to safely exit the hot zone or has event that cannot be resolved within 30 seconds
40
The Back up team is
not the RIT or RIC due to the requirements to wear CPC to enter the hot zone
41
IAP must contain a traking and accountability system that has the following 3 elements
Procedure for checking in at the scene Way of identifying and tracking the location of each unit and all personnel on scene Procedure for releasing personnel, equipment and apparatus that are no longer needed
42
NFPA 1500 address
Accountability system requirements
43
Communication methods for evacuation/escape include (4)
Intrinsically safe portable radios Voice signals Hand signal Other predetermined signals as determined by the AHJ
44
6 Measures to protect the public include
Conduction rescues Evacuating people from potentially hazardous areas Sheltering in place Protecting/defending in place Performing Mass Decontamination Providing emergency medical Care or First aid
45
The Following 6 Factors affect the ability of personnel to perform a rescue
Nature of the hazardous material and incident severity Training Availability of appropriate PPE Availability of monitoring equipment Number of victims and their condition Tools Equipment and other devices needed to effect the rescue
46
Evacute contaminated or potentially contaminated individuals to an area of
Safe refuge or triage and treatment area as appropriate within the isolation perimeter to await decontamination
47
the decision to shelter in place may be guided by the following 4 factors
The population cannot evacuate because of health care, detention or educational occupancies the material is spreading too rapidly to allow time for evacuation the material is too toxic to risk any exposure heavier than air vapors may trap people in a high-rise or multilevel structure
48
Defending in place may include the following 3 Actions
Using hose streams to diffuse a plume Securing a neighborhood or area Turning off heat and air conditioning systems to minimize the spread of contaminants
49
4 Defensive control options
Damming- Actions to prevent or limit the flow of a liquid or sludge past a certain area Diking- Actions using raised embankments or other barriers to prevent movement of liquid or sludge to another area Diverting- Actions to direct and control movement of liquid or sludge to an area that will produce less harm Retention- Actions to contain a liquid or sludge in an area where it can be absorbed neutralized or removed often used as a longer term solution than other similar product control methods
50
Emergency responders perform three types of decon
Emergency Decontamination-- Process of removing life threatening contaminants from the victim as quickly as possible without regard for environments or property protection Mass Decontamination-- Process of removing life threatening contaminants from large numbers of people in the fastest possible time ro reduce surface contamination to a safe level with out without a formal decontamination corridor or line, Technical decontamination-- Process of using chemical or physical methods to thoroughly remove contaminants from from responders (primarily entry team personnel) and their equipment usually conducted within a formal decontamination line or corridor
51
IC Considers the following 4 things when selecting appropriate type of decon operations
Number of persons requiring decon Type of hazardous materials involved Weather Personnel and equipment available
52
Progress Reports 'CAN'
C-Condition status A-Actions N-Needs - Improving -In progress -Met at this time -Static -Completed -Additional resources required and anticipated -Deteriorating -Planned
53
4 indicators to withdraw from a threat of BLEVE or another dangerous situation are
Sudden change in temperature Sudden change in pressure Sound of pressure relief device activating Sudden increase in flames
54
3 Major recovery phase goals are
Returning the operational area to a safe condition Debriefing personnel before they leave the scene Returning the equipment and personnel of all involved agencies to pre incident condition
55
4 Operational recovery actions
Release of units Resupply of materials and equipment Decontamination of equipment and PPE Preliminary actions to obtain financial restitution
56
termination phase involves three procedural actions
On-scene debriefing Post incident analysis PIA Incident critique
57
5 Recommendations during this analysis may include
Operational weaknesses Training Gap Analysis Necessary Procedural changes required additional resources Necessary updates and or required changes
58
Post incident analysis also includes (6)
Completion of necessary reporting procedures required to document exposures Identification of contaminated equipment Incident reports Staff analysis reports Changes or improvements benchmarked for further consideration Follow-up analysis or training
