Materials: Basic Concepts Author: Chad Tameling Keywords: Explosives, High Energy, Compressed Gas Cylinders, Emergency Response, Five-step Process. Abstract: The purpose of this presentation is to educate emergency responders to the basic safeguards in responding to highly hazardous materials emergencies. Hazards associated with emergency response to an unsecured scene are multiplied when materials to be managed are shock sensitive, air/moisture sensitive, high-energy compounds, unknowns, or compressed gas cylinders. This presentation will touch on laws governing emergency response, review tactical models (5 step process to managing an incident), as well as organizational models (incident command system) for emergency responders in high hazard situations. |
