Entry into CRZ from Support Zone will be through _
Purpose of Gross Decon
An Access Control Point
Remove large amounts of contaminants in a short period of time
_ Decon is a more thorough decon process & follows Gross Decon
Victims should be decontaminated (before/after) medical treatment
Technical Decon (special solutions/equipment)
Before (Radiological: Treat before decon)
Are contaminated persons, equipment, or rigs permitted in Support Zone?
No- it’s the outermost area that’s Uncontaminated
Does CPC offer thermal protection?
Which level of protection is Air Purifying Respirator (APR)
Offers little or no thermal protection
Level C- air contaminant ID, concentration measured, atmosphere not oxygen deficient, & cartridge designed for known contaminants
Work Duty Uniform level
Bunker gear level
Level D
Not classified as CPC- No Level
Can SSL operate in Exclusion Zone?
Primary Objective of CPC Lad Companies
Yes- conduct air monitoring to ID safe zone, assist victims, conduct contamination monitoring after Gross Decon & Tech Decon
Rescue ops of non-ambulatory in contaminated area or Exclusion Zone
Can CPC Ladders operate in Exclusion Zone?
Only if Tech companies monitoring environment (CPC do not have monitoring devices)
Evacuation is preferred (4 points)
Immediate danger of fire/explosion,
Potential for discharge is great has NOT taken place & there’s time to relocate people, Discharge taken place but people sufficiently protected to permit time for evac, & People not yet in path of release will be threatened by changing conditions
Sheltering-In-Place preferred; Pre-planning ID options for problem areas (jail, public assembly), Evac cannot be properly managed, & Haz material displays (5 points)
(5): Low-moderate toxicity, Totally released & dissipating, Small qty of solid/liquid, Release controlled at source, & migrating vapor of low toxicity & qty and people are safer indoors than outside
Safe Refuge Area established in _
Contamination Reduction Zone for people removed from hazardous area before decon
Initial rescue actions should concentrate on removing _
Able-bodied (ambulatory) persons from immediate danger
