Study Notes
Response Objectives in HAZMAT Incidents
- Reporting is not considered a response objective in hazardous material incidents.
- Reevaluation and revision of original plans may be necessary if mitigation efforts fail.
Training Requirements
- HAZMAT Operations training is essential for donning chemical protective clothing.
Pesticide Labeling
- "Keep Away From Children" is categorized as a Precautionary Statement.
- "Keep Away from Waterways" is referred to as a Hazard Statement.
Transport Containers
- Cargo Tank Trucks are equipped with specification plates for identification.
- Intermodal Portable Tanks may be found with markings such as "Spec. 51."
Specific Container Identification
- An MC 312 container is typically associated with corrosive liquids.
- MC 307/DOT 407 carriers are designed for chemicals with pressures not exceeding 40 psi.
- MC 306/DOT 406 is designated for flammable liquids and Class B poisons with vapor pressures up to 3 psi.
- MC 331 is a noninsulated, single-shell vessel for liquefied gases, while MC 338 is used for cryogenic materials.
Radioactive Materials and Carboys
- Shipping radioactive materials in metal drums falls under Type A packaging.
- Carboys are used for transporting corrosive substances.
Tank Truck Specifics
- MC 312/DOT 412 is the appropriate cargo tank truck for sulfuric acid shipments.
- Pipeline markers provide essential information about the transported commodity, including the carrier's contact details.
Cryogenic and Rail Car Characteristics
- Cryogenic cargo tanks feature an inner tank surrounded by an insulated outer shell.
- Cryogenic liquid tank cars possess double shells with insulation for temperature control.
- Dedicated Cars in rail transport feature stenciled names for identification purposes.
- A cylindrical rail car with a covered dome is classified as a Pressure Tank, while exposed fittings denote a Nonpressure or low-pressure tank.
Special Hazards and Incident Response
- Cryogenic liquid tank cars can transport refrigerated liquids at temperatures of -13°F and below.
- Mandatory pipeline markers omit the destination of the product among required information.
- NFPA 704 data is not standard on pesticide labels, nor is "Toxic" a mandatory signal word.
Tactical Response in Crisis Situations
- Responders should remain alert for secondary devices during bomb incidents.
- Complicating factors at terrorist incidents include crime scene considerations and potential secondary events.
Storage and Transport Considerations
- Above ground pressure facility tanks are categorized as either Low-Pressure or High-Pressure.
- Bags can be used for storing nonbulk dry items, such as fertilizer.
- Common hazards associated with fire-involved cylinders include the risk of explosion.
