In the event of any incident involving hazardous materials, rescuers can refer to: The Emergency Response Guidebook for Incidents Involving Hazardous Materials Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) or Information Sheets provided by the manufacturer for all products on-site CANUTEC (Canadian Transport Emergency Centre, a 24-hour national emergency response advisory service) and WISER (Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders) On-site expertise PHYSICAL/EMOTIONAL STRESS IN CRITICAL INCIDENTS A critical incident is an event that is outside the range of usual human experience and is psychologically traumatic to the person. Critical incidents may produce a wide range of stress reactions, which can appear immediately at the scene, a few hours later or within a few days of the event. Stress reactions usually occur in four different categories: Cognitive (thinking) Physical (body) Emotional (feelings) Behavioural (actions) The more reactions experienced, the greater the impact on the individual. The longer the reactions last, the more potential there is for permanent harm. These stresses can cause a wide variety of reactions: Category Symptoms Cognitive Emotional Physical Behavioural Poor concentration Poor attention span Indecision Loss of emotional control Depression Guilt Muscle tremors Gastrointestinal distress Headaches Excessive silence Withdrawal from contact Change in eating habits Memory problems Difficulty with calculations Slowed problem solving Feeling lost or overwhelmed Anxiety/Fear Grief Chest pains Difficulty breathing Elevated blood pressure Atypical behaviour Sleep disturbance Change in work habits These conditions result from the effects of the body’s chemical emergency response system. Following the completion of a mine rescue emergency response, mine rescue teams must hold a debriefing. A Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) or other counselling procedures should be conducted with all personnel directly involved in a Critical Incident. The debriefing should be held immediately at the end of the emergency response and be facilitated by qualified professionals. 2-8.
