Study Notes
Hazardous Materials
- A hazardous material is a substance or material capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, or property when transported in commerce.
- A hazardous class is a group of hazardous materials that share dangerous characteristics.
Hazard Classes
- The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) identifies 9 hazard classes.
Hazardous Materials Definitions
- A simplified form of definition for hazardous materials is "chemical and biological substances that pose a risk to human life".
- CBRNE stands for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive materials.
Hazard Class 1-9
- Hazard class 1: Explosives
- Hazard class 2: Gases
- Hazard class 3: Flammable liquids
- Hazard class 4: Flammable solids
- Hazard class 5: Oxidizers
- Hazard class 6: Toxic substances
- Hazard class 7: Radioactive materials
- Hazard class 8: Corrosive materials
- Hazard class 9: Miscellaneous hazardous materials
Hazardous Materials Types
- Toxic materials: materials that may cause injury or death to living organisms
- Acute effects: short-term, high-dose events with harmful consequences
- Chronic effects: long-term, low-dose exposure with harmful consequences
- Flammable materials: materials that have a high hazard due to ease of ignition, high burning temperature, or difficulty in extinguishment
Hazardous Materials Examples
- Gasoline, propane, and magnesium are examples of flammable materials
- Oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, and halogens are examples of oxidizers
- Ammonium hydroxide and Sodium hydroxide are examples of corrosive materials
- Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), Exotic Newcastle Disease (END), and Classical Swine Fever (CSF) are examples of biological substances
CBRNE
- CBRNE materials include chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive materials
- The study of adverse effects of chemicals or physical agents on living organisms is called toxicology
- The level to which it is believed a worker can be exposed day after day for a working lifetime without adverse health effects is called the Threshold Limit Value (TLV)
- A document that contains information on the potential health effects of exposure to chemicals, or other potentially dangerous substances, and on safe working procedures when handling chemical products is called a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
Safeguarding Lives during CBRNE Events
- The RAIN Principle is used to safeguard lives during a CBRNE event: Recon, Avoid, Isolate, and Notify
- Staying uphill or upwind from a CBRNE incident is an example of the RAIN Principle
- The first Decontamination Concept an officer should concern themselves with is the removal of contaminated clothing and personal protective equipment (PPE)
Incident Management
- The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is a systematic, proactive approach to guide departments and agencies at all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to work together seamlessly and manage incidents involving all threats and hazards.
- The Incident Command System (ICS) is a management system designed to enable effective and efficient domestic incident management by integrating a combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common organizational structure.
- The purpose of the ICS is to reduce loss of life, property, and harm to the environment.
