UNIT ONE

• Role and Responsibility of the First Responder

11
Federal laws and standards

• Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
  (SARA).
• 29 CFR 1910.120 and EPA 40 CFR part 311

12
Five levels of training

• Awareness
• Operations
• Technician
• Specialist
• On Scene Incident Commander

13
First Responder Awareness

• Responders at the awareness level are individuals
  who are likely to witness or discover a hazardous
  substance release and who have been trained to
  initiate an emergency response sequence by
  notifying the proper authorities of the release.
  They would take no further action beyond
  notifying the authorities of the release.

14
First Responder Operation

• Responders at the operations level are
  individuals who respond to releases or potential
  releases of hazardous substances as part of the
  initial response to the site for the purpose of
  protecting nearby persons, property, or the
  environment from the effects of the release.
  They are trained to respond in a defensive
  fashion without actually trying to stop the
  release. Their function is to contain the
  release from a safe distance, keep it from
  spreading, and prevent exposures.

15
Hazardous Material Technician

• Individuals who respond to a release or potential
  releases for the purpose of stopping the release.
  They assume a more aggressive role than the
  first responder at the operations level in that
  they will approach the point of release in order
  to plug, patch or otherwise stop the release of a
  hazardous substance.

16
Hazardous Material Specialist

• Individuals who respond with and provide support
  to hazardous materials technicians. Their duties
  parallel those of the hazardous materials
  technician, however, those duties require a more
  directed or specific knowledge of the various
  substances they may be called upon to contain.

17
On Scene Incident Commander

• Individuals who will assume control of the
  incident scene beyond the first responder
  awareness level. Incident commanders shall have
  received training equal to the operations level.

18
What is my role as a First Responder at the
Awareness Level?
19
First Responders must be able to perform basic

• Recognition
• Identification
• Isolation/Protection
• Notification, and
• Initiation of the Incident Command System

20
Recognition

• The First Responder must be able to recognize a
  hazardous materials incident.
•  RESPONDERS SHOULD NOT RUSH IN! IF YOU ARE HURT
  OR KILLED YOU CAN NOT HELP ANYONE.

21
Be Aware of any of the Following

• Vapor clouds
• Smoke
• Injured Persons
• Environmental Damage
• Evidence of explosive devices
• Booby traps
• Surrounding populations
• Dispersion pathways
• Suspicious persons around the scene

22
Potential Ignition Sources

• Traffic and Emergency Vehicles
• Open Flames
• Flares
• Lightening, or Static Discharges
• Electrical Sources, Downed Power Lines
• Flashlights and Two-Way Radios
• Exothermic Chemical Reactions (Heat Producing)

23
Identification

• Six clues
• Occupancy / Location
• Container Shapes and Sizes
• Markings and Colorings
• Placards / Labels
• Shipping Papers / Material Safety Data Sheets
  /Facility Pre-Plans
• Senses / Employees / Witnesses

24
It is not the responsibility of the first
responder to disregard their own personal safety
for the identification of the hazard. 
25
THE FIRST RESPONDER SHOULD PROTECT THEMSELVES
FIRST! 

• Isolation / Protection
• Isolate the area by prohibiting access
• Move un-injured un-contaminated people outside
  of the release area
• Isolate anyone contaminated  

26
Isolation / Protection (cont.)

• Stop at a safe distance and use binoculars or
  such vision-enhancing device to assess the scene
  for placards or other clues.THE STOPPING POINT
  MAY BE DIFFERENT FOR EACH INCIDENT

27
RESPONDERS MUST NOT EXCEED THEIR LEVEL OF
TRAINING AND PROTECTION.
28
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL FIRST RESPONDERS TRAINED TO
THE AWARENESS LEVEL SHOULD NEVER PASS INTO THE
CONTAMINATED AREA OF THE RELEASE FOR ANY REASON
OUTSIDE OF DUTY TO SAVE LIVES.
29
Notification

• Fire Departments
• Police Departments
• Sheriffs Offices
• Highway Patrol
• Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
• Hazardous Material Response Teams
• FBI (WMD Related Incidents)
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Public Health Departments
• Public Utilities Commission
• Environmental Clean-up Companies

30
What they need to know

• The chemical name, placard and/or U.N. number
  with a description of the incident.
• Weather conditions and wind direction
• Status of the hazardous material container
• (stable, leaking, burning, etc.,)
• The location impacted
• (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.,)
• Victim s injuries

31
Incident Command

• The role of the Incident Commander (IC) will be
  assumed by the appropriate authority, as
  designated by state or local law. In many cases,
  the IC will be the most senior public safety
  officer (most likely the fire department chief or
  deputy chief however, in many circumstances it
  may be a local sheriff or senior local or state
  police official). As such, it is the
  responsibility of the IC to establish the
  Incident Command System (ICS) and to ensure that
  notifications of the above mentioned responders
  have been made or are in the process of being
  made. As the referenced agencies arrive, the IC
  will evolve into a Unified Command, as necessary.

32
The Incident Commander

• The Ohio Revised Code 3737.80 specifies
• In any emergency situation relating to the
  prevention of an imminent release of a hazardous
  material, to the cleanup or disposal of a
  hazardous material that has been released, or to
  the related mitigation of the effects of a
  release of a hazardous material, the chief of the
  fire department in whose jurisdiction the
  emergency situation is occurring or his designee
  is responsible for primary coordination of the
  on-scene activities of all agencies of the state,
  the United States government, and political
  subdivisions that are responding to the emergency
  situation until the chief relinquishes that
  responsibility to a representative of one of the
  responding public agencies and so notifies that
  representative.

33
Incident Command System
34
Incident Commander Title used under the
emergency response training section of OSHA 29
CFR, Part 1910.120.
35
Safety Officer Tasked with the responsibility
to maintain the health and safety issues of site
operations. He shall have the authority to
Suspend, Alter, or Terminate any operations that
are determined to be unsafe or immediately
dangerous to life or health (IDLH)
36
PIO Their purpose is to make contact with the
media and the general public. They will release
information regarding site activities.
37
Liaison Serves as the contact between the
Incident Commander and other governmental and/or
private organizational personnel.
38
Finance/Administration The Financial Officer
provides the necessary financial guidance and
contractual support that may be necessary during
a large incident.
39
Logistics Oversees the delivery of the
manpower, supplies and/or the equipment to
effectively control the incident site.

47
ICS Summary

• The first fifteen minutes on the scene of a
  hazardous materials incident will set the stage
  for the remaining response. If the initial
  response is safe and appropriate and the first
  responder fulfills their duty to recognize,
  identify, isolate, protect, notify and establish
  command then the subsequent responders can build
  upon this foundation and safely mitigate the
  hazard.

• Decontamination

170
Can First Responders Do Decon!

• If it can be done safely!
• Contaminated live victims should receive
  immediate emergency decon.

Live Patients Cant Wait for Technical Decon to
Arrive!

  clothing

Wet Strip Flush Cover
174
Emergency Gross Decon

• Avoid overspray splashing
• If corrosives, flush affected area for 15-20
  minutes
• Control Runoff, if possible. If not, then grassy
  area.

Wet Strip Flush Cover
175
Transport

• Always provide Gross Decon before Transport

Main Purposes of Mass Decontamination

• Protect response and medical personnel
• Remove chemical agent from Contaminated victims
• Limit spread of contamination

178
Time is Critical!

• That will cause the least harm
• Use the fastest approach
• And do the most good
• For the majority of the people!

179
Mass Casualty Decon General Principles

• Expect at least a 51 ratio of unaffected to
  affected casualties
• Decontaminate victims as soon as possible
• Disrobing (head to toe) is decontamination, more
  removal is better

180
Mass Casualty Decon General Principles

• Water flushing generally is the best mass decon
  method
• After a known exposure to a chemical agent,
  emergency responders should be decontaminated as
  soon as possible.

181
Decontamination for Contaminated First Responders

• Contaminated clothing and equipment must be
  bagged and tagged
