PREVIEW OFHAZMATSAFETY OFFICERPOWERPOINT TRAINING PRESENTATION

OBJECTIVETo understand the roles & responsibilities of the Hazmat Safety Sector Officer

INCIDENT COMMAND

OSHA REQUIREMENT1910.120 (q)(3)(vii)The individual in charge of ICS shall designate a SAFETY OFFICER, who is knowledgeable in the operations being implemented at the emergency response site, with specific responsibility to identify and evaluate hazards and to provide direction with respect to the safety of operations for the emergency at hand

NIMS SAFETY OFFICERA member of the Command Staff responsible for monitoring and assessing safety hazards or unsafe situations and for developing measure for ensuring personnel safety

NFPA 472 REQUIREMENT3.3.30.1 Hazardous Material Safety OfficerThe person who works within an IMS (specifically, the hazardous material branch/group) to ensure that recognized Hazmat/WMD safe practices are followed at Hazmat/WMD incidents

What are the SOs responsibilities to analyze a hazmat incident to determine the magnitude of the problem in terms of safety by observing a scene & reviewing and evaluating hazard & response information as it pertains to the safety of all persons within the hazmat branch?

S.O. 1.1*

Using the next photos review & evaluate hazards & response information as it pertains to the safety of all persons within the hazmat branch

SO 2.7*

COROSSIVITY pHpH is a value that represents the acidity or alkalinity of a water solutionA pH of value below 7 indicates an acid solution (a pH of 1 is extremely acidic)A pH above 7 indicates an alkaline solution (a pH of 14 is extremely alkaline) Acids and alkalis (bases) are commonly refereed to as corrosive materials

Water is the center baseline of a pH of 7*

CARBON MONOXIDE METERCapabilitiesDetermines the % CO in the sampleProblemsCalibrationDefective sensorCertain other gases in the atmosphere can cause errors

Gases that can cause errors are Acetylene, Dimethyl sulfate, Ethyl alcohol, Ethylene, Ammonia, Phosphine, Methyl sulfide, Sulfur dioxide, Propane, Mercaptans, Hydrogen sulfide, Isobutylene, Turpentine, Ethyl sulfide, Nitrogen dioxide, Methyl alcohol, Hydrogen cyanide, Hydrogen, Carbon disulfide, and Nitric oxide*

OSHA/EPA COMBUSTIBLE GAS MONITORING ACTION LEVELS

LEVELAGENCYACTION

TEST STRIPSUsed for testing acid base testing in liquidsAlso can be moistened and used to test for certain chemicals in airInexpensive test paper

INCIDENT #1Given a tank facility develop a plan using safe response with the capabilities of response personnel, PPE, & control equipmentIdentify specific safety precautions to observe while mitigating hazards Identify five safety precautions associated with search & rescue in this incident

Severe weather has flooded with water a gasoline tank farm and one of the valves has malfunctioned due to an ice up, causing it to open and flood the containment area With both the water and the gasoline the diking can not hold all the liquid and it is breaching the dyke Gasoline is still spilling from the damaged valveHow would you approach this situation?

Wind is strong from left to right and there is only 1 road accessDiscuss how you would do this

Identify the advantages and limitations and describe an example where each of the following decontamination methods would be used (a) Absorption(b) Adsorption(c) Chemical degradation(d) Dilution(e) Disposal(f) Evaporation (g) Neutralization(h) Solidification(i) Vacuuming (j) Washing
