6 Introduction (1 of 2) Scene size-up is important in any emergency. Even more vital in a hazardous materials incident Situational awareness Ability to read the scene is a critical skill. Must be able to identify sensory clues to be useful and safe.

7 Introduction (2 of 2) May be possible to identify a hazardous materials incident based on: Information from the dispatcher Knowledge of response area Visual, auditory, or olfactory clues Standard operating procedures (SOPs) and your training level should guide any initial actions.

8 Hazardous Material Any material that poses an unreasonable risk of damage or injury to persons, property, or the environment if it is not properly controlled during handling, storage, manufacture, processing, packaging, use and disposal, or transportation

9 Recognizing a Hazardous Materials Incident Scan the scene and interpret visual clues. Dead animals near the release Discolored pavement Dead grass Visible vapors or puddles Identifying labels

10 Occupancy and Location (1 of 2) Can occur almost anywhere Hazardous materials are stored in: Warehouses Hospitals Industrial occupancies Other locations

11 Occupancy and Location (2 of 2) Location and type of occupancy are two indicators of the presence of hazardous materials Facilities that pose a significant threat become a part of a comprehensive community plan Alert the fire departments to the need for a preincident plan for the site.

12 Senses Another way to detect the presence of hazardous materials Must be done carefully to avoid exposure Getting close enough may expose you. Clues that are seen or heard provide warning information from a distance, enabling you to take precautionary steps.

13 Containers Any vessel or receptacle that holds material including storage vessels, pipelines, and packaging

14 Container Characteristics Container type, size, and material provide important clues about the nature of the substance inside. Do not rely solely on the type of container when making a determination about hazardous materials.

15 Container Types Steel or polyethylene plastic drums Bags High-pressure gas cylinders Railroad tank cars Plastic buckets Above-ground and underground storage tanks Truck tankers Pipelines Dewar containers

16 Container Volume (1 of 5) Bulk storage containers Includes fixed tanks, large transportation tankers, totes, and intermodal tanks Large-volume containers Liquids: More than 119 gallons Solids: More than 882 pounds Gases: More than 882 pounds

17 Container Volume (2 of 5) Bulk storage containers found in occupancies that need to store large quantities of a chemical Secondary containment An engineered method to control spilled or released product if the main containment vessel fails

18 Container Volume (3 of 5) Large-volume horizontal tanks Above-ground storage tanks (ASTs) Underground storage tanks (USTs) Can hold a few hundred gallons to several thousand gallons of product Usually made of aluminum, steel, or plastic

19 Container Volume (4 of 5) USTs and ASTs can be pressurized and nonpressurized. Difficult to relieve internal pressure on these tanks Dangerous when exposed to fire Typically hold flammable or combustible materials

20 Container Volume (5 of 5) Pressurized horizontal tanks have rounded ends and large vents or pressure-relief stacks. Most above-ground pressurized tanks are liquid propane and liquid ammonia tanks. Can hold a few hundred gallons to several thousand gallons Contain small vapor space

21 Tote Portable plastic tanks surrounded by a stainless steel web that adds both structural stability and protection Can hold a few hundred gallons of product and may contain any type of chemical Shipping and storing can be hazardous.

22 Intermodal Tanks Shipping and storage vehicles Hold gallons of product Pressurized or nonpressurized Surrounded by or part of a boxlike steel framework

23 Intermodal Tanks: IM-101 Have a 6000-gal capacity Internal working pressures psi Typically carry mild corrosives, food-grade products, and flammable liquids

24 Intermodal Tanks: IM-102 Have a 6000-gal capacity Internal working pressures psi Primarily carry flammable liquids and corrosives

25 Intermodal Tanks: IMO Type 5 High-pressure vessels with internal pressures of several hundred psi Carry liquefied gases like propane and butane

26 Nonbulk Storage Vessels Drums Bags Carboys Compressed gas cylinders Cryogenic containers

27 Drums Barrel-like container Used to store a wide variety of substances Material type depends on use.

28 Drum Openings Closed-head drums have a permanently attached lid with one or more small openings called bungs. Usually have one 2" bung and one ¾" bung Open-head drum Removable lid fastened to the drum with a ring

29 Bags Used to store solids and powders Plastic, paper, or plastic-lined paper Different sizes and weights Pesticide bags must be labeled with specific information.

30 Pesticide Bags Warning Label Name of product Information (1 of 2) Statement of ingredients Total amount of product in container Manufacturer s name and address EPA registration number Signal words 29

31 Pesticide Bags Warning Label Information (2 of 2) Practical first aid treatment description Directions for use Agricultural use requirements Precautionary statements Storage and disposal information Classification statement 29

32 Carboys (1 of 2) Transport and store some corrosives and other types of chemicals Made of glass, plastic, or steel Holds 5-gal to 15-gal of product

33 Carboys (2 of 2) Often have a protective wood or fiberglass box to help prevent breakage Nitric, sulfuric, and other strong acids are transported and stored in thick glass carboys protected by a wooden or foam crate to shield the glass container

34 Cylinders (1 of 3) Several types of cylinders are used to hold liquids and gases. Uninsulated compressed gas cylinders Used to store gases such as nitrogen, argon, helium, and oxygen

35 Cylinders (2 of 3) Oxygen cylinder Has a pressure reading of 2000 psi Very large compressed gas cylinders found at a fixed facility May have pressure readings of 5000 psi or greater

36 Cylinders (3 of 3) High pressures can be dangerous. Rapid release of compressed gas turns the cylinder into a missile. If heated rapidly, it could explode. Compressed gas cylinders have pressurerelief valves.

37 Low-Pressure Dewar Designed to hold cryogens Gaseous substances that have been chilled until they liquefy Oxygen, helium, hydrogen, argon, and nitrogen Complex process turns them into liquids.

38 Cryogens Pose a substantial threat if the Dewar fails to maintain the low temperature Have large expansion ratios, Has an expansion ratio of approximately 750 to 1 Usually have two pressure-relief devices A pressure-relief valve Frangible (easily broken) disk

39 Transporting Hazardous Materials Highway transportation of hazardous materials is the most common method over land. Vehicles often carry the shipments from the station, airport, or dock to the factory or plant.

40 MC-306 Flammable Liquid Tanker (1 of 2) Carries gasoline or other flammable and combustible materials Oval-shaped tank pulled by a diesel tractor

41 MC-306 Flammable Liquid Tanker (2 of 2) Carries between 6000 to 10,000 gal Nonpressurized Usually made of aluminum Off-loaded through valves at the bottom of the tank Common highway sight Reliable way to transport chemicals

42 MC-307 Chemical Hauler Round or horseshoeshaped tank Carries 6000 to 7000 gal Flammable liquids, mild corrosives, and poisons May have a rubber lining

43 MC-312 Corrosives Tanker Sulfuric and nitric acids and other corrosive substances Smaller diameter Reinforcing rings Operates at approximately 75 psi Holds 6000 gal

44 MC-331 Pressure Cargo Tanker Carries materials like ammonia, propane, and butane Rounded ends. Operates at approximately 300 psi Significant explosion hazard

45 MC-338 Cryogenic Tanker Operates like the Dewar containers Carries similar substances Tank insulation Boxlike structure Special training to operate valves

46 Tube Trailers (1 of 2) Carry compressed gases Several individual cylinders banded together and affixed to a trailer Large-volume cylinders operate at 3000 psi to 5000 psi

47 Tube Trailers (2 of 2) One trailer may carry several different gases in individual tubes. Valve control box Each cylinder has its own relief valve. Can frequently be seen at construction sites or at facilities that use great quantities of these materials

48 Dry Bulk Cargo Tanks Powders, pellets, fertilizers, or grain Not pressurized May use pressure to off-load product Generally V-shaped with rounded sides

49 Railroad Transportation Railroads move almost 2 million carloads of freight per year. Relatively few hazardous materials incidents occur. Carry volumes up to 30,000 gal Hazardous materials incidents involving railroad transportation are dangerous.

50 Railroad Tank Cars Three basic railcar configurations Nonpressurized Pressurized Special use Usually labeled with the volume and maximum working pressure inside the tank Dedicated haulers often have the chemical name clearly visible.

51 Nonpressurized Railcars Industrial chemicals and consumer products Easily identified by looking at the top of the car Have visible valves and piping without a dome cover

52 Pressurized Railcars Enclosed dome on the top of the railcar Propane, ammonia, ethylene oxide, and chlorine Internal working pressures ranging from 100 to 500 psi Relief valves

53 Special Use Railcars (1 of 2) Includes box cars, flat cars, cryogenic corrosive tank cars, and high-pressure compressed gas tube cars

54 Special Use Railcars (2 of 2) The hazard will be unique to the particular railcar and its contents. Do not assume that only the chemical tank cars pose a threat. Until you know what is in a particular car, assume it is a hazardous situation.

55 Pipelines (1 of 4) Rarely involved in emergencies Large-diameter Large-diameter pipelines transport natural gas, gasoline, diesel fuel, and other products from delivery terminals to distribution facilities.

56 Pipelines (2 of 4) Often buried underground Pipeline right of way An area, patch, or roadway that extends a certain number of feet on either side of the pipe itself Maintained by the company that owns the pipeline Responsible for placing warning signs

57 Pipelines (3 of 4) Pipeline warning signs include: Warning symbol Pipeline owner s name Emergency contact phone number Complicated events that require specially trained responders Contact the owner immediately.

58 Pipelines (4 of 4) Information about the pipe s contents and owner is also found at the vent pipes. Inverted J-shaped tubes Provide pressure relief or natural venting during maintenance and repairs. Vent pipes are clearly marked and are approximately 3' above the ground.

59 DOT System Characterized by a system of labels and placards Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) Also a part of the system Offers a certain amount of guidance for fire fighters operating at a hazardous materials incident

60 Placards Diamond-shaped indicators Measures 10 ¾ on a side Must be displayed on all four sides of vehicle carrying hazardous materials

61 Labels Smaller version of placards 4" diamond-shaped indicators Used on the four sides

62 Placards and Labels Intended to give fire fighters a general idea of the hazard inside a particular container Placard may identify the broad hazard class that a tanker contains. Labels on a book inside a delivery truck relate only to the potential hazard inside that package.

63 DOT Response Guidebook (ERG) Can be used during the initial phase of the hazardous materials incident Nine basic hazard classes or families Each exhibits similar properties. 29 Dangerous placard indicates more than one hazard class is contained in the same load. DOT system is a broad-spectrum look at chemical hazards.

64 Nine Chemical Families Class 1 Explosives Class 2 Gases Class 3 Flammable combustible liquids Class 4 Flammable solids Class 5 Oxidizers Class 6 Poisons Class 7 Radioactive materials Class 8 Corrosives Class 9 Other regulated materials (ORM)

65 Other Considerations DOT system does not require that all chemical shipments be marked with placards or labels. In most cases, the package or tank must contain a certain amount of hazardous material before a placard is required.

66 Using the ERG ERG is a preliminary action guide. Useful during the initial 10 to 15 minutes of an incident Cannot be used to create a comprehensive action plan Divided into four sections: yellow, blue, orange, green

67 Yellow Section Chemicals are listed in this section numerically by their four-digit UN number. Use when the UN number is known or can be identified. Entries include the name of the chemical and the emergency action guide number.

68 Blue Section Chemicals are listed alphabetically by name. Entry will include the emergency action guide number and the identification number. The same information, organized differently, is in both the blue and yellow sections.

69 Orange Section Contains the emergency action guides Guide numbers are organized by general hazard class and indicate what basic emergency actions should be taken, based on hazard class.

70 Green Section Organized numerically by UN identification number and provides the initial isolation distances for certain materials Chemicals included in this section are highlighted in the blue or yellow sections. Toxic inhalation hazardous materials (TIH)

71 NFPA 704 System (1 of 5) Designed for fixed facility use Found on the outside Found on the outside of buildings, on doorways to chemical storage areas, and on fixed storage tanks

72 NFPA 704 System (2 of 5) Fire fighters can use the NFPA diamonds to determine a course of action at a hazardous material incident. NFPA 704 hazard identification system uses a diamond-shaped symbol of any size.

73 NFPA 704 System (3 of 5) Broken into four smaller diamonds, each representing a property or characteristic Blue diamond indicates the health hazard posed. Red diamond indicates flammability. Yellow diamond indicates reactivity. White diamond is used for special symbols and handling instructions.

74 NFPA 704 System (4 of 5) Blue, red, and yellow diamonds each contain a numerical rating of is the least hazardous. 4 is the most hazardous.

75 NFPA 704 System (5 of 5) White quadrant will not have a number but may contain special symbols. Burning O symbolizes oxidizing capability. Three-bladed fan symbolizes radioactivity. A W with a slash through it symbolizes water reactive.

76 HMIS Marking Program for communication of chemical use and hazards to employees Established in 1983 by OSHA Uses diamonds similar to NFPA 704 Voluntary program Intended for employee of a facility Not a response information tool

77 Military Hazardous Materials/WMD Markings (1 of 2) The military has their own marking system. Division 1 Considered mass detonation and are identified by a number 1 printed inside an orange octagon. Division 2 Have explosion-with-fragment hazards and are identified by a number 2 printed inside an orange X.

78 Military Hazardous Materials/WMD Markings (2 of 2) The military has their own marking system. Division 3 Mass fire hazards; identified by a number 3 printed inside an inverted orange triangle. Division 4 Moderate fire hazards; identified by a number 4 printed inside an orange diamond.

79 Other Reference Sources Material safety data sheets (MSDS) Shipping papers CHEMTREC National Response Center

80 MSDS (1 of 4) Provides basic information about: The chemical makeup of a substance The potential hazards it presents Appropriate first aid in the event of an exposure Other pertinent data for safe handling of the material

81 MSDS (2 of 4) Generally an MSDS will include: Physical and chemical characteristics Physical hazards of the material Health hazards of the material Signs and symptoms of exposure Routes of entry Permissible exposure limits

82 MSDS (3 of 4) Generally an MSDS will include: Responsible party contact Precautions for safe handling Applicable control measures, including personal protective equipment Emergency and first-aid procedures Appropriate waste disposal

83 MSDS (4 of 4) When responding to a hazardous materials incident at a fixed facility, ask the site manager for an MSDS for spilled material. All facilities are required by law to have an MSDS on file. MSDS is not a definitive response tool, but it is a piece of the puzzle.

84 Shipping Papers Are required whenever materials are transported from one place to another Names and addresses of the shipper and the receiver Identify the material being shipped Specify the quantity and weight of each part of the shipment

85 Bills of Lading Shipping papers for road and highway transportation Located in the cab of the vehicle Required by law to have a set of shipping papers May have additional information about a hazardous substance

86 Packaging Group Designation (1 of 2) Another way used by shippers to identify special handling requirements or hazards Some DOT hazard classes require shippers to assign packaging groups based on the flash point and toxicity. May signal that the material poses a greater hazard

87 Packaging Group Designation (2 of 2) Packaging group I: high danger Packaging group II: medium danger Packaging group III: minor danger

88 Waybills Shipping papers for railroad transportation List of every car on the train is called a consist. Conductor, engineer, or a designated member of the train crew will have a copy of both the waybill and the consist.

89 Dangerous Cargo Manifest Shipping papers on a marine vessel Generally kept in a tubelike container in the wheelhouse in the custody of the captain or master

90 Air Bill Shipping paper for air transport Kept in the cockpit and is the pilot s responsibility

91 Chemical Transportation Emergency Center Located in Arlington, VA Established by the Chemical Manufacturer s Association Clearinghouse of emergency response information Phone number

92 Calling CHEMTREC (1 of 2) Have the following information ready: Name of the caller and call back telephone number Location of the actual incident or problem Shipper or manufacturer of chemical (if known) Container type

93 Calling CHEMTREC (2 of 2) Information (continued) Rail car or vehicle markings or numbers Shipping carrier s name Recipient of material Local conditions and exact description of the situation

94 CHEMTREC Free service that connects fire fighters with chemical manufacturers, chemists, and other product specialists Canadian equivalent of CHEMTREC is known as CANUTEC. Mexican equivalent is SETIQ.

95 National Response Center Operated by the U.S. Coast Guard Central notification point After notification NRC will contact necessary government agencies. NRC must be notified if a spill possibly may enter a waterway. Phone number

96 Radiation (1 of 4) You must be able to recognize where radioactive materials might be encountered. Typical industries that routinely use radioactive materials include: Food testing labs, hospitals, medical research centers, biotechnology facilities, construction sites

97 Radiation (2 of 4) Often there will be signs or placards that indicate the presence of radioactive substances. If you suspect a radiation incident at a fixed facility, ask for the radiation safety officer of the facility.

98 Radiation (3 of 4) If the incident is not at a fixed site, the presence of radiation may never be apparent. Radioactive isotopes are not detected by the senses. Call a hazardous materials team.

99 Radiation (4 of 4) Significant incidents involving radiation are few and far between. Most incidents you may encounter will involve low-level radioactive sources and can be handled safely. These low-level sources are typically found in Type A packaging.

100 Type A Packaging Inner containment vessel and packaging materials Designed to protect the contents from damage during normal shipping and handling

101 Type B Packaging (1 of 2) More dangerous radioactive sources Contains materials Contains materials such as spent radioactive waste and other high-level emitters

102 Type B Packaging (2 of 2) Designed to protect the contents from greater exposure Amount of protection is based on the potential severity of the hazard. Includes small drums and heavily shielded casks weighing more than 100 metric tons

103 Potential Terrorist Incident The difference between a chemical and a biological incident. The major difference is the speed of onset of the health effects. Chemical incidents are typically characterized by rapid onset Biological incidents typically have a delayed onset of symptoms.

104 Chemical Agents (1 of 2) Terrorist activities involving chemical agents may vary dependent on the complexity of the operation.

105 Chemical Agents (2 of 2) Some clues to a terrorist activity involving chemical agents may include: Protective equipment, chemical containers, and glass containers Odors Residual chemicals in the area Chemistry books or other reference materials Signs of exposure

106 Biological Agents Indicators may include: Production or containment equipment in the area Microbiology or biology textbooks may be present. Personal protective equipment Abandoned spray devices Signs of exposure

107 Radiological Agents Difficult to access Indicators may be: Production or containment equipment Equipment used for detonation of the radioactive source Personal protective equipment Radiation monitoring equipment Signs of exposure

108 Illicit Laboratories (1 of 2) There are many indicators of criminal or terrorist activities involving illicit labs. Look for signs of: Look for signs of: Terrorist training manuals Suspicious personnel working around the area Surveillance materials Weapon and nonweapon supplies.

109 Illicit Laboratories (2 of 2) Drug labs are the most common found. Typically primitive Everyday items modified to produce drugs Large quantities of cold tablets, acid, paint thinner, drain cleaner, and other such products. Should be considered as significant hazardous materials scenes.

110 Explosives Indicators fit into four main categories: Protective equipment Production and containment materials Explosive materials Support materials

111 Secondary Devices Indicators include: Trip devices Common concealment containers

112 Summary (1 of 3) Fire fighters should use all available resources to provide a greater degree of safety and improve their ability to mitigate the incident. Many resources are readily available and will provide initial guidance for handling the incident.

113 Summary (2 of 3) Fire fighters should know where to obtain this initial information and how best to use it. Fire fighters should know how to obtain MSDS from various sources, including their department, the scene of the incident itself, or the manufacturer of the material.

114 Summary (3 of 3) Fire fighters should be able to demonstrate proficiency in determining a proper guide to use when using the NAERG. Fire fighters should be able to name, understand, and locate the various types of shipping papers on various modes of transportation.
