Guide
Before and after you enter a hot zone you need?
Medical Screening

Tac channel
Smallpox is highly infectious and has a kill percentage of ?
30%
Spongy material that soaks
Absorption
A peice of material that things stick to
Adsorption
Like a dam possibly in a series
Dike
Blocking it complete
Dam
Dig a place to hold it
Retention
Fans or streams with hose to spread it out
Vapor dispersion
How can a chemical substance enter the body?
Inhalation, absorption, ingestion, injection.
What is ignition temp?
Lowest temp for sustained combustion.
What is a hazardous material?
Capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety or environment.
Small spill?
Less than 52 gallons or 661lbs for solid
MT?
Chemical Mechanical Thermal
What is a good idea if you have hazardous materials in your area?
Pre-plan
Flash point of gas?
45 degrees
Ignition temp of gas?
475 degrees
What protects responders from radiation?
Time Distance Shielding.
ALARA-
ALARA- As low as reasonably available.
What is the new term for MSD?
SDS
What can technicians use to assist the IC in determining the area to evacuate?
Air monitoring instrument.
APICE?
Analyze plan Implement Evaluate.
If an air monitoring alarm goes off you should?
Improve or alter you’re your PPE.
Natural gas is an?
Asphyxiant
What is Toxicology?
Chemical effects on living organisms.
What would be a reason foam would be mixed incorrectly?
Mixed and let sit for a long time
Which type of packaging would be used for extreme protection?
Type B
Why is a CO monitor inadequate?
Because it does not monitor for carcinogens
What type of Decon is thorough?
Technical
Dangerous cargo or hazardous materials are classified for transport based on
Flash point and toxicity
Staging is part of
Operations in the ICS system.
Dewar containers
Thermos like vessel designed to hold
Cryogenic liquid.
Pipelines
warning symbol, pipeline owners name,
chersoney contact lane
Carboys
glass, plastics or steel container the holds 5 to
15 gallons of product
Who is in charge of giving a safety briefing?
IC
Alpha particles
electrically charged particles is given off
by the nucleus of an unstable atom
Beta Particles
more energic then alpha, great health hazard and can travel 10 to 15 ft in open air, can be stopped by a layer of clothing
Gamma Particles
most energic radiation responders may encounter, pure electromagnetic energy, not a particle emitted from the nucleus.
Liquids with low flashpoints typically have?
Higher vapor pressures and higher ignition temps.
What is corrosivity damage?
Damage to the skin, eyes, or other body parts.
Neutron-
Neutron- In nucleus can be removed by nuclear radiation such as gamma rays.
Bata-
Like electrons except its ejected from the nucleus- depending on strength can travel several feet in open air. Not technically radioactive, but the speed at which there emitted from the nucleus gives off radiation that can break bonds.
What is the most important initial action at a HAZMAT incident?
Identity, limit spread and exposures
