MCFR Hazmat Operations Level Training In our organization, we are trained to:
NFPA 472 - Standard for Professional Competence of Responders to Hazardous Material Incidents
We are trained to operate in the Hazmat Operations role. This roll allows us to perform all activities up to the edge of the HOT zone
We can operate at this level in a DEFENSIVE manner only.

Primary Responsibilities Identifying the hazardous material(s)
involved in an incident if possible
Analyzing an incident to determine the nature and extent of the problem
Protecting first responders, nearby persons, the environment, and property from the effects of a release
![Page 4: Hazardous Materials MCFRS Annual Re-certification Vers 10.3 lrs Click to advance slides.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5519e1585503468b0c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Primary Responsibilities Developing a defensive plan of action to
address the problems presented by the incident
Implementing the planned response to control a release from a safe distance and keep it from spreading
Evaluating the progress of the actions taken to ensure that response objectives are safely met

Hazmat Incident Response Levels
Level I – Incident that can be controlled by first responder/s. No evacuation necessary beyond initial site. Small area that poses no immediate threats to life, property, or environment. Ex.: auto leaking fuel
![Page 7: Hazardous Materials MCFRS Annual Re-certification Vers 10.3 lrs Click to advance slides.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5519e1585503468b0c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Hazmat Incident Response LevelsLevel II- Incident has greater hazard/area involved than Level I. May pose danger to life, property, and environment. This incident may require limited evacuation/protective area of surrounding sites. Requires the response of a formal response team. Ex.: Minor accidental chemical spill at industrial location.
![Page 8: Hazardous Materials MCFRS Annual Re-certification Vers 10.3 lrs Click to advance slides.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5519e1585503468b0c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Hazmat Incident Response Levels
Level III – Incident the poses severe danger to life, property, and environment. May involve large scale protective actions etc. Incident will require federal, state, regional assistance. Ex.: Large scale train derailment w/numerous tanker cars on fire.

Hazardous Material Health Affects The acronym TRACEMP defines
potential health affects: Thermal Radiological Asphyxiation Corrosive Etiological Mechanical Psychological
![Page 11: Hazardous Materials MCFRS Annual Re-certification Vers 10.3 lrs Click to advance slides.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5519e1585503468b0c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Hazmat Exposure Limits Threshold Limit Value (TLV) – 8 hrs./24 hr. day
Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL)- 8 hrs./24 hr. day
Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) – 15 mins./24 hr. day
Immediately Dangerous to Life & Health (IDLH) – Immediate
This limit represents the maximum concentration from which an unprotected person can expect to escape in a 30-minute period of time without suffering irreversible health effects.

primarily a guide to aid 1st responders in quickly identifying the specific or generic hazards of materials involved in and emergency incident on a highway or railroad.
It helps them protect themselves and the public during the initial response phase of the incident.
The ERG does not address all possible circumstances that may be associated with a dangerous goods/ hazardous materials incident.

2008 Emergency Response Guidebook Explosives are not listed individually but
appear under the general heading Explosives on the first page of the ID Number Index and alphabetically in the Name of Material index.
The letter P following the Guide number in the yellow-bordered and blue-bordered pages identifies those materials that present a polymerization hazard under certain conditions.
First responders should be familiar with the ERG before using it in an emergency!

Contamination Terms
Exposure — The process by which people, animals, the environment, and equipment are subjected to or actually come in contact with a hazardous material
Hazard — The harm that can be done by a material
![Page 82: Hazardous Materials MCFRS Annual Re-certification Vers 10.3 lrs Click to advance slides.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5519e1585503468b0c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Types of Contamination
Primary The direct transfer of a hazardous
material to persons, equipment, and the environment
Occurs in the hot zone because of direct contact with a hazardous material
![Page 83: Hazardous Materials MCFRS Annual Re-certification Vers 10.3 lrs Click to advance slides.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5519e1585503468b0c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Types of Contamination Secondary
The contamination of people, of equipment, or the environment outside the hot zone
The contaminant is carried from the hot zone by personnel’s clothing or tools, air currents, and runoff water.
If personnel are not decontaminated before leaving the hot zone, they can contaminate whomever and whatever they touch thereafter.
![Page 84: Hazardous Materials MCFRS Annual Re-certification Vers 10.3 lrs Click to advance slides.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5519e1585503468b0c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Contamination Terms Contamination — The process of transferring a
hazardous material from its source to people, animals, the environment, or equipment
Decontamination The process of removing hazardous materials
to prevent the spread of contaminants beyond a specific area and reduce the level of contamination to levels that are no longer harmful
Is performed when a victim, responder, animal, or equipment leaves the hot zone

Essentially the same as other haz mat incidents
Law enforcement Must be notified Must be included Responsible for evidence
collection

Elements of Terrorism
Terrorist activities are illegal and involve the use of force.
Actions intend to intimidate or coerce.
Actions are committed in support of political or social objectives.

Guidelines for Preserving Evidence
Remember and document when something was touched or moved
Minimize the number of people working in the area, if possible
Leave fatalities and their surroundings undisturbed
Identify witnesses, victims, and the presence of evidence
![Page 91: Hazardous Materials MCFRS Annual Re-certification Vers 10.3 lrs Click to advance slides.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013100/5519e1585503468b0c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Guidelines for Preserving Evidence
Preserve potentially transient physical evidence
Follow departmental procedures for establishing chain of custody, documentation, and security measures to store crime scene evidence
