  1. Module 3 Unit 1 Determining Operational Goals

  2. Objectives • Describe potential roles of the operation responder • Identify the steps for determining objectives • Perform a hazard/risk assessment • Identify when withdraw may be indicated • Identify when and how to obtain assistance

  3. Duty to Act

  4. Awareness Level Recognize/Identify Isolate Protect Notify Operational Level Recognize/Identify Isolate Protect Notify Spill Control (Defensive) Leak Control (Defensive) Fire Control (Defensive) Recovery/Terminate Goals

  5. Your Role in Management • Assess actions of Awareness responders • Improve if necessary • Assess exposures (vulnerabilities) • Maintain defensive role • Obtain assistance • Technician level response if needed

  6. Risk/Benefit Analysis • What are the risks • What are your capabilities • What benefits can be gained • “No - win” situations (Losers)

  7. The Management Process (GEDAPER) • Gather information • Estimate potential course and harm • Determine strategic goals • Assess tactical options to meet goals • Plan and implement your actions • Evaluate progress • Review periodically Goals Next Page

  8. Goals for Haz-Mat Response • Recognize • Isolate • Protect • Notify • Spill Control • Leak Control • Fire Control • Recovery / Termination Don’t forget the goals

  9. Determine Operational Goals • After we gather information and estimate potential course and harm (hazard/risk assessment) we then determine our operational goals. • Risk/Benefit decision making

  10. Activity 3.1 Identifying Goals

  11. Module 3 Unit 2 Command and Safety

  12. Objectives • Identify the need for the use of an Incident Management System • Identify the responsibility to establish and enforce control procedures • Identify proper personal protective equipment • Identify the roles of the Safety Officer and EMS responders

  13. Managing the Scene • The Incident Command System • Required implementation (29 CFR 1910.120) • Complexity requires effective and efficient management of resources • Benefits to the use of the ICS • Manages resources, Personal accountability • Documentation, Effective communications

  14. The Incident Command System • Key terms • Unity of command • Span of control • Functions of Command (five) • Command, Operations • Finance, Logistics • Planning

  15. The ICS System Organization

  16. Command Post Operations • Location Considerations

  17. Scene Control

  18. Control Zones WIND Incident Entry Corridor Decontamination Safe Refuge COLD HOT WARM

  19. Protective Actions • Evacuation • Shelter in place

  20. Accomplishing Safety • Use of PPE • Minimum PPE is fire fighter protective clothing and PP/SCBA • Decontamination issue of FFPC • The Safety Officer • Requirements • Authority (Suspend, alter, terminate)

  21. The Safety Officer • Develops a “Site Safety Plan” • Initial safety plan • Site specific safe plan • Pre-entry briefing • Other Responsibilities • Insures accountability, decontamination • Proper PPE, assesses scene for all hazards

  22. Role of EMS During Incidents • Requirements • Primary Roles • Responder Monitoring • Treatment of Injuries • Monitoring • Medical evaluation • Pre-habilation and Rehabilitation

  23. Summary • The ICS • The Safety Officer • Roles of EMS

  24. Module 3 Unit 3 Personal Protective Equipment

  25. Objectives • Describe the principles of hazards based response • Identify protective measure considerations for life saving rescues • Determine appropriate PPE • Identify basic capabilities and limitations of various types of PPE

  26. Hazard Based Response The process of developing personal protective measures designed to specifically address the hazards that are present at the scene in order to achieve an acceptable level of risk

  27. Hazard Based Response • Acceptable risk • Step 1: Identify hazards • Step 2: Develop measures to reduce each hazard

  28. Identify and Reduce Hazards • Thermal • Etiological • Asphyxiation • Mechanical • Chemical • Psychological • Radiological

  29. Personal Protection • Minimum level of protection for Operational level responders

  30. Respiratory Protection • Air purifying respirators (APRs) • Limitations and use criteria • 100:1 PF for full face • Supplied air breathing apparatus (SABA) • Tethered air lines with escape capability • 10,000:1 PF for positive pressure • Positive Pressure SCBA • Highest level of protection, 10,000:1 PF

  31. Dermal Protection • Support garments (NFPA 1993) • Specialized thermal • Splash protective • Vapor protective

  32. Level “C” Protective Clothing • Respiratory: APR • Dermal: Splash • Limitations: • Must know contaminant • Must measure • Must have 19.5% O2 • Must have proper filter

  33. Level “B” Protective Clothing • Respiratory:PP/SCBA or SABA • Dermal: Splash • Minimum for unknown • Limitations: • Not for IDLH skin • Excellent respiratory • Used for incidental splash only

  34. Level “A” Protective Clothing • Respiratory: PP/SCBA • Dermal: Vapor protective • Limitations: • No thermal protection • High heat stress hazard • Good for repeated contact or high vapor concentrations

  35. Summary Table of Levels

  36. Summary • Hazards based response • Personal protective equipment

  37. Module Activity 3.3 “Hazard Based Response”
