HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 2
Unit 1 Learning Objectives
• AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS UNIT THE STUDENT WILL DESCRIBE HOW TO RECOGNIZE A HAZARDOUS MATERIAL THAT IS MARKED AND PERFORM ASSESSMENT ON THE DEFENSIVE ACTION NECESSARY TO PREVENT THE INCIDENT FROM GETTING LARGER.
HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 3
Student Performance Objectives• Describe how to perform a scene
survey• Identify basic contents of small
containers based on shape and size.• Identify basic contents of highway
transport containers based on shape and size
• Identify basic contents of rail transport containers based on shape and size.
HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 4
Student Performance Objectives
• Identify basic contents of fixed site containers based on shape and size.
• Identify radioactive materials based on markings and placards.
• Describe how to make a damage assessment on containers.
• Recognize specialized marking systems and products.
HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 5
Student Performance Objectives
• Describe how to obtain further information on a material in an incident.
• Describe how to assess the scene of an incident weighing risk vs. benefit.

Radioactive Markings
Package Labels• White I
• Yellow II
• Yellow III
• Fissile
HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 36
Radioactive Markings at Facilities
Radioactive Material Licensee Activity Warning Signage
These signs (called postings) are completely different from transportation placards and labels. The Emergency Response Guide is not applicable.
HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 39
Environment
• Be alert for sources of ignition, conduits from the site (such as sewers or drains), streams and bodies of water, and other means of transportation.

Risk vs. Benefit

Risk vs. Benefit (cont.)
• Protecting LivesYourselfFellow RespondersThe General PublicThe Victim
HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 42
Risk vs. Benefit (cont.)
• Protecting Property
• Protecting the Environment
HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 45
Slide one
• Risk = LowVictim is alive with
no protective equipment.
What PPE can we wear
Little if any Contamination
• Benefit = HighVictim will live with
assistance
HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 47
Slide two
• Risk = ModerateVictim may still be
alive.What type of PPE
can we wear Little if any
ContaminationNo evidence of the
problem being chemical
• Benefit = ModerateVictim, if alive, will
probably continue to live.
HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 49
Slide three
• Risk = HighVictim probably is
not alive.Will your PPE protect
you?We will get
contaminated
• Benefit = ModerateVictim even if alive
may not continue to live
HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 51
Slide four
• Risk = HighWe do not even
know if there is a victim.
Heavy Contamination is probable
• Benefit = Low If we can not survive
without an SCBA, how can the victim?
HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 52
Summary
• Information is needed about the:ContainerProductEnvironment
HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 53
Summary (cont.)
• First responders must conduct a “risk vs. benefit” analysis to help make decisions about the defensive actions they can take to save lives, protect property and the environment.
