Q

IDLH

A

Occupational exposures to chemicals have long been recognized as having the potential to adversely affect the lives and health of workers. Acute or short-term exposures to high concentrations of some airborne chemicals have the ability to quickly overwhelm workers, resulting in a wide spectrum of undesirable health outcomes that may include irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract, severe irreversible health effects, impairment of the ability to escape from the exposure environment, and, in extreme cases, death (WITHIN 30-60 MIN)

395
Q

Emergency Decon

A

Gold emergency Decon is to remove the threatening contaminant from the victim as quickly as possible – there is no regard for the environment or property protection. Emergency Decon may be necessary for both victims and rescuers. If either is contaminated, individuals must remove their clothing or PPE and wash quickly. Victims may need immediate medical treatment, and they cannot wait for the establishment of a formal decontamination corridor.
