    Study Notes

    Hazardous Materials Awareness Test (A)

    • Scope of Responsibility (Question 1):

      • Awareness level responders are responsible for passive mitigation and determining appropriate actions based on the Emergency Response Guide (ERG).

    • Hazardous Materials Responder Levels (Question 2):

      • Technician level responders are trained to enter heavily contaminated areas to stop hazardous material releases.

    • Chemical Profiles (Question 3):

      • Manufacturers provide detailed chemical profiles called Safety Data Sheets (SDS).

    • Hazardous Material Definition (Question 4):

      • A hazardous material, according to DOT, poses an unreasonable risk when it is not properly contained or stored.

    • Hazardous Materials Training Levels (Question 5):

      • Awareness level training equips first responders to identify hazardous materials emergencies, protect themselves, isolate the area, and request assistance.

    Additional Hazardous Materials Information

    • Exposure Agent Identification (Question 6):

      • Twitching in a victim suggests possible nerve agent exposure.

    • Oxygen Deprivation Agent (Question 7):

      • Choking agents prevent the body from using oxygen.

    • Respiratory System Exposure (Question 8):

      • Inhalation is how toxic substances enter the body through the respiratory system.

    • Skin Absorption (Question 9):

      • Absorption is how hazardous materials enter the body through the skin.

    • Open Wound Exposure (Question 10):

      • Injection is the term for chemical exposure through an open wound.

    • Hazard Class for Toxic Substances (Question 11):

      • DOT hazard class for toxic substances is 8.

    • Containers (Question 12):

      • Drums, bags, and carboys are examples of non-bulk containers.

    • Pipeline Warning Signs (Question 13):

      • Pipeline warning signs include a warning symbol, the owner's name, an emergency contact number, and an ERG guide number.

    • Explosives Hazard Class (Question 14):

      • DOT hazard class for explosives is Class 1.

    • Flammable Liquid Hazard Class (Question 15):

      • DOT hazard class for flammable liquids is Class 3.

    • NFPA 704 Symbols (Question 16, 17, 18):

      • Blue diamond= Flammability, Red diamond=Reactivity, White diamond=Special Hazards, Health hazard.

    • Shipping Documentation (Question 19):

      • Waybills are used for highway transportation.

    • Railroad Shipping Documentation (Question 20):

      • Bill of lading documents railroad transportation.

    • ERG Section for Chemical ID Numbers (Question 21):

      • The Blue section of the ERG is used to reference chemical ID numbers.

    • ERG Section for Chemical Names (Question 22):

      • The Yellow section of the ERG is used to reference chemical names.

    • ERG Section for Isolation Distances (Question 23):

      • The Green section of the ERG shows Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances.

    • Relocation of People (Question 24):

      • Relocation for potential hazard threats is called "Shelter in Place".

    • Evacuation Distances (Question 25):

      • Evacuation distances for small spills in the ERG are found in the Green section.
