Planning Requirements
“If you fail to plan,
plan to fail…”
![Page 12: Hm Scene Safety](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/555f1698d8b42a93658b4606/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Incident Management
• Major components of HM incident management include:– HM incident management format– scene control– response safety– medical support
![Page 14: Hm Scene Safety](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/555f1698d8b42a93658b4606/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Incident Management Model
• Isolation
• Notification
• Identification
• Protection
• Spill and Leak Control
• Fire Control
• Recovery and Termination
![Page 15: Hm Scene Safety](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/555f1698d8b42a93658b4606/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Isolation
is Scene Control!!!
![Page 16: Hm Scene Safety](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/555f1698d8b42a93658b4606/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Scene Control
• Scene control is accomplished by:– scene security
• isolation via PD
– control zones• hot, warm, and cold zones
– safe response practices• environmental health and safety• medical control and surveillance
![Page 17: Hm Scene Safety](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/555f1698d8b42a93658b4606/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Where to Park?
• Where you park impacts on your safety!– Uphill– Upwind
• Isolate the incident (use your vehicle!)• Consider the need for water for
decontamination• Don’t walk a mile, but stay out of the
product!
![Page 18: Hm Scene Safety](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/555f1698d8b42a93658b4606/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Control Zones
• Hot Zone = Exclusion zone
• Warm Zone = Contamination Reduction Zone
• Cold Zone = Support Zone
![Page 19: Hm Scene Safety](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/555f1698d8b42a93658b4606/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Hot Zone
• determined by air monitoring, meteorological conditions, geography, and HM product characteristics
• One way in - one way out• Work area only in required PPE• No eating, drinking, chewing, or “carrying
on”• “Get in, then get out!”
![Page 20: Hm Scene Safety](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/555f1698d8b42a93658b4606/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Warm Zone
– decontamination occurs here
– PPE is required here
– PPE level is generally one level below level required in the Hot Zone
![Page 21: Hm Scene Safety](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/555f1698d8b42a93658b4606/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
