BOOK 37 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OPERATIONAL PLAN CHAPTER 5 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TASK FORCE – OPERATIONS Flashcards
The Hazardous Materials Group Supervisor will ensure that all Hazardous Materials Task Force members are assigned (Entry, Technical Support, Technical Decon), and that the boundaries that delineate the ________ Zone, ________ _________ Zone and _______ Zone are established.
Exclusion zone
Contamination reduction zone
Support zone
The Hazardous Materials Incident Command System divides the incident scene into three zones:
Exclusion zone
Contamination reduction zone
Support zone
Area or space closest to the spill or release. The boundaries of this zone will be adjusted from the Initial Isolation Zone established by the first responder. The line surrounding this Zone is the “Hot Line”, which is established by Hazardous Materials Task Force personnel with approval of the Incident Commander.
Exclusion zone (hot zone)
All access and egress in the exclusion zone are through the
Access control points
Area or space immediately outside the Exclusion Zone. The line surrounding this Zone is the “Perimeter Control Line” and is established by the first responder.
Containment reduction zone
The following operations take place in the containment reduction zone:
A. Contamination Reduction ________ (CRC)
B. Preparation Area for _____ _____
C. _______ Support Functions
D. _______ Control Points
E. __________ ________(s) for civilians (gross, secondary)
Contamination reduction corridors
Entry teams
Technical support functions
Access control points
Decontamination areas
Area outside the Contamination Reduction Zone. A line may be established outside this Zone for control of civilian traffic using fire line tape. All functions not part of the Hazardous Materials Group are located in this Zone.
Support zone
Ideally, a minimum distance of ____’ should be used for the depth of the Contamination Reduction Zone. This distance will allow the Hazardous Materials Task Force enough room to conduct their operations.
100’
The IDLH contour is derived from a combination of factors
Wind and weather conditions
Type of chemical
Amount of rate or release
And type of release(liquid or vapor)
After arrival on the scene of a hazardous materials incident, it is critical to initiate the development of the ____ ______ Plan, establish the _______ Support Team, and set up the_______ _______ Corridor.
Site safety plan
Technically support team
Contamination reduction corridor
Upon arrival, the first consideration should be the development of the _____ _____ Plan, which will include the proposed actions for the Hazardous Materials Group to mitigate the hazard.
Site safety plan
Upon arrival, the first consideration should be the development of the Site Safety Plan, which will include the proposed actions for the Hazardous Materials Group to mitigate the hazard.
Technical support
Technical Support will also recommend ______, ______, and sampling equipment based on the properties of a given substance.
Metering, testing
Technical Support will recommend the appropriate decontamination procedures, and will set up and monitor the _______ station that is used when building plume models and establishing evacuation areas.
Weather
The assigned paramedic engine company will establish baseline vitals for all
Entry team members
pre-entry briefing, also referred to as the ______ _______, will cover the major points of the Site Safety Plan.
Safety briefing
is positioned in the Contamination Reduction Corridor just outside the boundary of the Exclusion Zone.
