Study Notes
No-Entry Zone Overview
- A No-Entry Zone is established at incident sites to prevent access due to imminent hazards or dangerous conditions.
- Protection of evidence is a critical reason for maintaining a No-Entry Zone.
- Personnel on-site must be informed about the boundaries and significance of the No-Entry Zone.
Nighttime Operations
- During operations at night, it is essential to illuminate the No-Entry Zone for visibility and safety.
Control Zone Identification
- Control zones should be clearly marked according to NFPA 1521 standards, using colored hazard tape or equivalent means.
- Different zones are designated by specific colors:
- Hot Zone: Red (area of immediate danger)
- Warm Zone: Yellow (transitional area, potential hazards present)
- Cold Zone: Green (safe area, no immediate threat)
- No-Entry Zone: Red and white diagonal stripes or chevron (indicates restricted entry)
