-environmental conservation
-property conservation

25
Hazardous Materials Response First Responder Operations Level -responsibilities first arriving unit ii/pc/am
-responsible for isolation and identification -product control/air monitoring -turnout gear adequate if no contact involved
26
Hazardous Materials Response Technician/Specialist Responsibilities/jobs 😃 i.h.m.d
-identification -hazard and risk assessment -mitigation/control -decontamination and other
27
Hazardous Materials Response Hazmat Team responsibilities CO/IHA/S/S
-coordinate ops with IC -identification/hazard assessment -supervise complete mitigation -specialized equipment other
28
Identify the Problem and Materials (using) 1.determine location/occupancy of the problem what do I see c.m.p.s.m.s
-container shapes -markings/colors -placards/labels -shipping papers facility docs -monitoring/detection equip -senses seeing/hearing
29
STEP 1 SITE MANAGEMENT and CONTROL isolate/deny entry s.u.l.a.e
-safe approach/positioning -from uphill upwind -look for hazmat clues -assume command -establish isolation perimeter using ERG
30
All incoming units shall initially be staged at a safe distance away except
-first arriving unit -hazardous materials personnel and equipment -the command officer
31
Hazard/Risk Benefit Analysis if there is urgent life hazard and rescue is required
-ready urgent rescue/patient decon area (safe refuge) -ready patient removal device -don full turnouts SCBA -bring 4 gas monitor
32
While making approach Hazmat Rescue
-avoid pooled liquids -listen for high pressure gas -look for vapor clouds
33
Hazmat Rescue Discontinue efforts if
-4 gas alarms for LEL -situation changes and immediate evacuation is deemed necessary
34
All aspects of the first two steps will be followed if possible. They are
-site management and control -identify problem/materials
35
The duties of the hazardous materials team will include “6”
-coordinate info/resources -complete 8 step procedures -establish decon procedures -use of specialized equipment -use of specialized PPE -direct supervision of hot zone operations
36
Step 3 hazard and risk evaluation (a) responders must understand
-physical properties how it will behave -chemical properties how it can harm
37
Step 3 hazard and risk evaluation -risk evaluation
-hazardous materials involved -type of container it’s integrity -environment/location -resources/capabilities responders
38
Step 3 Developing the Incident Action Plan (IAP) Strategic Goals how are we going to make go away
-rescue -public protective actions -spill control (confinement) -leak control (confinement) -fire control -recovery
39
Step 3 Tactical Objectives
-offensive -defensive -non-intervention (no-action)
40
Step 4 select PPE/Equipment Structural FF Clothing/SCBA (turnouts) may be used when
-contacts with hazmat unlikely -atmospheric levels not toxic to skin -live victim’s in need of rescue
41
Step 4 Select PPE/Equipment Liquid chemical splash protection (EPA level B) may be used when
-vapors/gases concentration not high enough to be toxic through skin -unlikely vapor/gas/liquid affect exposed skin -flammable/chemical/thermal
42
Step 4 select PPE/Equipment Chemical vapor protective clothing (EPA level A) should be used when
-extremely hazardous are known or suspected and skin contact possible -potential contact may destroy skin -potential for splash/exposure to be absorbed thru skin -unknown/unidentified substances
43
Step 4 Tools/Equipment
Tools and specialized equipment carried on Mobile Lab/R9 utilized as necessary
44
Step 5 Information Management and Resource Coordination
-confirm unified command is in place liaison officer -expand ICS create branches,divisions, groups per IAP
45
Step7 Decontamination -types of decontamination
-Emergency Safe Area/No Formal Decon Established -Technical planned/systematic -Mass large numbers
46
Step 7 Implement Response Objectives
-carry out strategic goals and tactical objectives set forth in Incident Action Plan
47
Step 8 Terminate the Incident
