Study Notes
Types of Hazmat Transportation
- Hazmat can be transported by highway, rail, sea, and air.
Definition of Hazmat
- Hazmat refers to any material or substance that poses an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property during transportation.
HAZMAT Familiarization and Safety in Transportation Course Training
- Covers applicability and responsibility, emergency response, general awareness, and security awareness.
DD Form 626 Function
- Used by Quality Assurance Specialist-Ammunition Surveillance (QASAS) for vehicle inspection and driver documentation verification.
- Driver retains a copy for shipping papers.
- Utilized by receiving ASP or depot for pre-unloading inspections.
Vehicle Inspection Criteria
- Inspectors check driver’s license and vehicle operating conditions, including brakes, tires, mirrors, and windshield wipers.
Inspector Qualifications
- Inspections are conducted by specifically trained personnel.
Vehicle Inspection Requirements
- The DD Form 626 specifies the criteria a vehicle must meet to pass inspection.
Vehicle Inspection Frequency
- Vehicles are inspected before loading, after loading, and before unloading.
Consequences of Failing Vehicle Inspection
- Vehicles that do not pass inspection cannot be loaded until repaired or replaced.
Pre-Inspection Guide
- Section II of the DD Form 626 serves as a guide for pre-inspection before leaving the motor pool.
Hazard Classes Overview
- Nine hazard classes categorize hazardous materials based on their characteristics:
- Class 1: Explosives
- Class 2: Gases (e.g., Acetylene, oxygen)
- Class 3: Flammable liquids (e.g., Acetone)
- Class 4: Flammable solids and reactive materials
- Class 5: Oxidizers and organic peroxides (e.g., ammonium nitrate)
- Class 6: Toxic and infectious materials (e.g., arsenic trioxide)
- Class 7: Radioactive materials (e.g., different forms of uranium)
- Class 8: Corrosives (e.g., hydrochloric acid)
- Class 9: Miscellaneous hazardous materials (e.g., dry ice)
Compatibility Group Definition
- Compatibility groups allow safe transportation and storage of materials without increased hazards, identified by letters under HC 1.
Identifying Hazard Classes
- Hazard classes are identified through shipping papers, package labels, and placards, providing essential safety information.
Importance of Hazard Class Knowledge
- Understanding hazard classes helps HAZMAT employees transport materials safely and allows first responders to manage emergencies effectively.
Dangerous Reactions Between Hazmat
- Certain hazardous materials can react dangerously if mixed; for instance, bleach and ammonia create toxic vapors.
Hazard Class Divisions
- Some hazard classes are divided into further categories identifying specific types of hazards (e.g., HC 1 explosives have various hazards like fragmentation and fire).
HC Division Insights
- Division examples under HC 1 include:
- 1.1: Mass explosion hazards (bombs)
- 1.2: Fragmentation hazards (certain grenades)
- 1.3: Fire hazards (propellants)
- 1.4: Minor explosion hazards (small arms ammunition)
- 1.5: Very intensive explosives (blasting agents)
- 1.6: Extremely intensive explosives without mass explosive hazard.
