Identify
Define Hazardous Material
A product in any quantity poses a threat or unreasonable risk to life and health or property if not controlled during manufacture, packaging, handling, storage, transportation and use
Dangerous materials
The UN number is
United Nations Identification Number
and the will identify the material
Decontamination is defined as
The removal of hazardous substances from exposed individuals as necessary to prevent occurence or foreseeable adverse harm
Specific procedures nad usually only emergency decon
Emergency Decon and an initial physical assessment is done in the
Warm Zone because all clothing needs to be removed and the patient washed down
Clandestine Labs can pose a risk because of
Chemical, inhalation injury, burns, explosion
Contamination is a major hazard and traps
What is TRACEM
Types of damage from Hazardous Materials
Thermal, Radiological, Asphyxiation, Chemical, Etiological, Mechanical
CBRNE is another one
Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive
Regulation for vehicles transporting hazardous materials is regulated by
DOT Department of Transportation
Preincident Planning is
Tailored to your community and knowing procedures, what agencies and facilities you would use
Radiation exposure happens when
A patient comes in direct contact wiht the source of radioactive gases, liquid or particles
Chemicals that may be used to manufacture Meth
Pseudoephedrine, lithium, phosphorus, sodium hydroxide, anhydrous ammonia and hydrochloric acid
Produces Phosphine
We can identify a hazardous material by
Placards, UN, Shipping papers or SDS
Placards are four sided diamonds that provide us with
Classification by color and a legend that indicates whether it is flammable, Radiological, explosive or poisonous
Implementing the Plan is
Immediately establish command, decide your best course of action based on
Problem, Material, Type of Container, Weather, Time, # of patients, Danger of affecting more/Evacuation needed
Procedures with radiation emergency are
Limit your time and and distance as much as possible
Remember: 1) Protect Safety of all Rescuers and patients, 2) provide patient care, 3) Decon clothes, equipment and vehicle
Shake and Bake cooks are done in
Vehicles, or anywhere
Oxidizers cause what kinds of problems
Shock, Pulmonary Edema, Hypoxia, Chemical burns
NFPA 704 is a Diamond with Diamonds that stand for
Blue: Health Hazard
Red: Fire Hazard
Yellow: Reactivity Hazard
White: Special information
Safety Zones at any incident are
Hot Zone
Warm Zone
Cold Zone
Shielding means
The Density of the material between me and the radiation the greater the protection
BHO Butane Hash Oil cook off is to get a higher concentration of
THC: a depressant drug of abuse that is derived from Marijuana
Toxic gases can cause what problems for the Respiratory System
Tachypnea, Dyspnea, Pulmonary Edema and Respiratory Failure
Shipping papers give us
and SDS tell us
Shipping papers give us What the product is and the amount and that it is a hazardous material
The SDS gives us specific product information how to handle it how to treat for an exposure and other.
Triage and treatment takes place in what zone
The Cold zone
Problems caused by Radiation
Radiation Sickness
Radiation Inury
Radiation Poisoning
Terrorist may use what classes of chemicals or hazardous materials
Class 2 Toxic and Flammable Gases
Class 6 Toxic and Infectious Substances
Class 7 Radioactive materials
