Hazardous MaterialsHazardous Materials
• Defined in numerous ways– U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)– U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)– U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA)
• Simplified Definition
• Extremely Hazardous Substances

Hazardous Materials IncidentsHazardous Materials Incidents
“Haz-Mat” incidents are unique incidents. They require specialized protective measures not normally
available to first responders AND they demand a different operational
approach!

Public Safety “Duty to Act”Public Safety “Duty to Act”
• Public safety responders have a “Duty to Act”.
• Your level of involvement is defined by your employer’s Emergency Response Plan (ERP).
• The actions you are expected to take should be in Standard Operating Procedure format.
• NEVER exceed your level of training and protection!

North American Emergency Response Guidebook
North American Emergency Response Guidebook
• Your tool for success.
• Every emergency vehicle should have a copy.
• Purpose:– An aid for identification of the material involved.– Outlines basic initial actions.– Recommends protective action areas.– Serves as an initial incident safety plan.
![Page 9: First Responder Awareness Level Training UNIT 1 - “Preparation”](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e1b5503460f94b09384/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Legal MandatesLegal Mandates
• Superfund Amendments and Re-Authorization Act of 1986 (SARA 1986).
• SARA Title I, Section 126 mandated OSHA to develop safety regulations for responders.
• SARA Title III requires local communities and facilities to plan and prepare for hazardous materials emergencies.

Methods of IdentificationMethods of Identification
• Once you recognize, try to identify
• Location of material name– Shipping papers– MSDSs (fixed facilities)– Facility Pre-Plans– Employees and bystanders
• If you cannot safely identify, try to classify the material into a hazard class
