  1. Hazardous Materials Awareness N.F.P.A. 472 – 2013 Chapter 4 January 01, 2013

  2. Objective After Completing this Course, the Student will Demonstrate a Knowledge of Hazardous Materials Practices and Procedures in Accordance with N.F.P.A. 472-2008 Awareness Level with 70% Accuracy on a Written Exam Hazardous Materials Awareness N.F.P.A. 472 – 2013 Chapter 4

  3. Definition (OSHA) First Responder Awareness Level First responders at the awareness level are individuals who are likely to witness or discover a hazardous substance release and who have been trained to initiate an emergency response sequence by notifying the proper authorities of the release. They would take no further action beyond notifying the authorities of the release. 29CFR1910.120(q)(6)(i)

  4. Definition (NFPA) 472-2008 Awareness Level Personnel Persons who in the course of their normal duties, could encounter an emergency involving Hazardous Materials / Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and who are expected to recognize the presence of the Hazardous Materials / WMD, protect themselves, call for trained personnel, and secure the area. NFPA 3.3.4

  5. Introduction Meet Requirements of 472-2008 Chapter 4 Additional Requirements From: OSHA EPA DOT State, Local etc. NFPA 4.1.1.1 / 4.1.1.2 / 4.1.1.3

  6. Introduction Code of Federal Regulations: 29 CFR Labor (Department of Labor) 40 CFR Protection of Environment (EPA) 49 CFR Transportation (DOT)

  7. Goal • The goal of the competencies in this • chapter shall be to provide personnel • already on the scene of a hazardous • materials / WMD incident with the • knowledge and skills to perform the tasks in 4.1.2.2. safely and effectively. NFPA 4.1.2.1

  8. Goal • Analyze (recognize) • Plan • Implement • Evaluate • Terminate NFPA 4.1.2.2

  9. Awareness Level Personnel Analyze the incident to determine both the hazardous materials / WMD present and the basic hazard and response information for each hazardous materials / WMD agent by completing the following tasks: • Detect • Survey • Collect NFPA 4.1.2.2(1)

  10. Implement Actions Implement Actions consistent with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and the current edition of the DOT Emergency Response Guidebook by completing the following tasks: • Initiate Protective Actions. • Initiate the Notification Process. Instructor Note: Review Sample LERP and SOP / SOG with Students NFPA 4.1.2.2(2)

  11. Analyze the IncidentDetecting the Presence of Hazardous Materials / WMD Given examples of various situations, Awareness level personnel shall identify those situations where hazardous materials / WMD are present by completing the following requirements. NFPA 4.2.1

  12. Analyze the IncidentDetecting the Presence of Hazardous Materials / WMD Identify the definitions of both Hazardous Materials (or Dangerous Goods, in Canada) and WMD. NFPA 4.2.1(1)

  13. Analyze the IncidentIdentify the definitions of both hazardous materials(or Dangerous Goods, in Canada) and WMD National Fire Protection Association • A substance (solid, liquid, or gas or energy) when released is capable of creating harm to people, the environment, and property including WMD as defined in 18 U.S. Code 2332a Hazardous Materials NFPA 3.3.28

  14. Analyze the IncidentIdentify the definitions of both hazardous materials(or Dangerous Goods, in Canada) and WMD Department of Transportation (DOT) • It covers all of the 11 hazard classes and divisions. • Includes Hazardous Substances & Waste (EPA terms) Hazardous Materials NFPA Appendix I.2.1

  15. Analyze the IncidentIdentify the definitions of both hazardous materials(or Dangerous Goods, in Canada) and WMD Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) • Chemicals that, if released into the environment above a certain amount, must be reported, and depending on the threat to the environment, federal involvement in handling the incident can be authorized. • Also found in 40 CFR 203 and 29 CFR 1910.120 Hazardous Substances NFPA Appendix I.2.2

  16. Analyze the IncidentIdentify the definitions of both hazardous materials(or Dangerous Goods, in Canada) and WMD Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) • Chemicals that must be reported to the appropriate authorities if released above the threshold reporting quantity. • Found in Title III of SARA 40 CFR 355 Extremely Hazardous Substances Instructor Note: Review Reportable Quantity (RQ) list with Students NFPA Appendix I.2.3

  17. Analyze the IncidentIdentify the definitions of both hazardous materials(or Dangerous Goods, in Canada) and WMD Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) • Chemicals whose total emissions or releases must be reported annually by owners and operators of certain facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use a listed toxic chemical. • Found in Title III of SARA 40 CFR 355 Toxic Chemicals NFPA Appendix I.2.4

  18. Analyze the IncidentIdentify the definitions of both hazardous materials(or Dangerous Goods, in Canada) and WMD Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) • Chemicals that are regulated under the Resource, Conservation, and Recovery Act. Hazardous Wastes NFPA Appendix I.2.5

  19. Analyze the IncidentIdentify the definitions of both hazardous materials(or Dangerous Goods, in Canada) and WMD Occupational Safety and Health Admin: • Any chemical that would be a risk to employees if exposed in the work place. • The term covers a broader group of chemicals than the other chemical terms Hazardous Chemicals NFPA Appendix I.2.6

  20. Analyze the IncidentIdentify the definitions of both hazardous materials(or Dangerous Goods, in Canada) and WMD Occupational Safety and Health Admin: • Those Chemicals that possess toxic, reactive, flammable or explosive properties. • Fall under 29 CFR 1910.119 “Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals” Highly Hazardous Chemicals NFPA Appendix I.2.8
