  1. MODULE 1UNIT 1 Basic Hazard and Risk Assessment

  2. Unit 1 Learning Objectives • ATTHE CONCLUSION OF THIS UNIT THE STUDENT WILL DESCRIBE HOW TO RECOGNIZE A HAZARDOUS MATERIAL THAT IS MARKED AND PERFORM ASSESSMENT ON THE DEFENSIVE ACTION NECESSARY TO PREVENT THE INCIDENT FROM GETTING LARGER.

  3. Student Performance Objectives • Describe how to perform a scene survey • Identify basic contents of small containers based on shape and size. • Identify basic contents of highway transport containers based on shape and size • Identify basic contents of rail transport containers based on shape and size.

  4. Student Performance Objectives • Identify basic contents of fixed site containers based on shape and size. • Identify radioactive materials based on markings and placards. • Describe how to make a damage assessment on containers. • Recognize specialized marking systems and products.

  5. Student Performance Objectives • Describe how to obtain further information on a material in an incident. • Describe how to assess the scene of an incident weighing risk vs. benefit.

  6. Hazard and Risk Assessment • Gather information at the scene • Size-up • Situational awareness

  7. Hazard and Risk Assessment (cont.) • Gather information from resources

  8. Surveying the Scene • Containers • Products • Environment

  9. Containers • Physical state of product • Solid • Liquid • Gas • Pressure • Non pressure, low, medium, high • Quantity

  10. Containers (cont.) • Non Bulk • Less than 119 gallons • Bulk

  11. Drums Pails Bags & Sacks Boxes & Crates Carboys Cylinders Bottles and Jars Dewars Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC) Non Bulk Containers

  12. Bulk Containers • Highway • Rail • Storage Tanks

  13. Tanks and Containers

  29. Storage Containers (cont.)

  30. Radioactive Material Containers • Excepted (including strong, tight) • Type A • Type B • Type C

  31. Radioactive Material Containers (cont.) • Industrial Package I (essentially Excepted) • Industrial Package II • Industrial Package III

  32. Damage Assessment • Container Stressors • Container Breaches • Release Events • Dispersion patterns

  33. Products • Hazards • Routes of exposure • Appropriate PPE • Decontamination • Medical care

  34. Specialized Marking Systems • Pipelines • Pesticide Labels • Danger • Warning • Caution

  35. Radioactive Markings

  36. Radioactive Markings at Facilities

  37. Rail Markings

  38. Obtaining additional Information

  39. Environment • Be alert for sources of ignition, conduits from the site (such as sewers or drains), streams and bodies of water, and other means of transportation.

  40. Risk vs. Benefit • Benefits • Save Lives • Reduce damage to property • Protect the environment • Risks • Injury or Death

  41. Risk vs. Benefit (cont.) • Protecting Lives • Yourself • Fellow Responders • The General Public • The Victim

  42. Risk vs. Benefit (cont.) • Protecting Property • Protecting the Environment

  43. Exercise 1 • Basic Hazard and Risk Assessment

  44. Hazard & Risk Assessment

  45. Risk = Low Victim is alive with no protective equipment. What PPE can we wear Little if any Contamination Benefit = High Victim will live with assistance Slide one

  46. Hazard & Risk Assessment

  47. Risk = Moderate Victim may still be alive. What type of PPE can we wear Little if any Contamination No evidence of the problem being chemical Benefit = Moderate Victim, if alive, will probably continue to live. Slide two

  48. Hazard & Risk Assessment

  49. Risk = High Victim probably is not alive. Will your PPE protect you? We will get contaminated Benefit = Moderate Victim even if alive may not continue to live Slide three
