  1. HAZ MAT INCIDENT PRODUCT CONTROL FOR FIRST RESPONDERS PRODUCT CONTROL

  2. Product Control Introduction The first responder at the operational level shall identify the defensive options for each response objective PRODUCT CONTROL

  3. Product Control • Identification of defensive options • Containment • Confinement PRODUCT CONTROL

  4. Product Control • Confinement Definition: • “Those procedures taken to keep a material, once released, in a defined or local area.” PRODUCT CONTROL

  5. Product Control • Containment Definition: The actions taken to keep a material in its container. (e.g., stop a release of the material or reduce the amount being released.) PRODUCT CONTROL

  6. Product Control • Other General Control Methods • Absorption • Dikes, dams, diversion and retention • Dilution • Remote valve shut off • Vapor dispersion • Vapor suppression PRODUCT CONTROL

  7. Product Control • Control methods • Absorption • The process by which one substance, such as a liquid, combines with another substance, such as a solid, by becoming part of that substance. PRODUCT CONTROL

  8. Product Control • Control Methods • Adsorption • The material bonds to the outside of the adsorption medium. PRODUCT CONTROL

  9. Product Control • Control methods • Diking/Damming: The use of a barrier to confine the movement of a material. • Diversion: The controlled movement of the liquid from one course of flow or area to a another locale. • Retention: The temporary confinement of a material in an area (e.g. pond, excavation, etc.). (Often used in conjunction with diversion.) PRODUCT CONTROL

  10. Diking / Damming PRODUCT CONTROL

  11. Diversion PRODUCT CONTROL

  12. Retention PRODUCT CONTROL

  13. Product Control • Control methods • Remote valve shutoffs • Valves that can be used to shut off the flow of a chemical; the term remote is used to denote the valves that are away from the spill or release. PRODUCT CONTROL

  14. Product Control • Control methods • Dilution • The application of water to water soluble hazardous materials to reduce the hazard. PRODUCT CONTROL

  15. Product Control • Control methods • Vapor dispersion • Intentional movement of vapors to another area, usually by the use of master streams or hose lines. PRODUCT CONTROL

  16. Product Control • Control methods • Vapor suppression • The reduction or elimination of vapors emanating from a spilled or released material. PRODUCT CONTROL

  17. Product Control • Control Methods • Criminal / Terrorist Acts • Scene security • Evidence preservation • Victim / witness control PRODUCT CONTROL

  18. Product Control Summary • Control Methods • Dikes, dams, diversion and retention • Dilution • Remote valve shut off • Vapor dispersion • Vapor suppression • Defensive Activities PRODUCT CONTROL

  19. Product Control Practical Exercise You are dispatched for the investigation. Upon arrival, you find a tanker truck that is leaking an acid. It is leaking at a moderate rate. You must determine and perform the best method of product control. PRODUCT CONTROL
