This presentation discusses the Incident Command Structure at a Hazmat incident. Includes methods of mitigation of spill including advantages and disadvantages of each type of mitigation, scene safety, common hazards, damage assessment, duties of the command officers and teams, equipment, CISD, incident termination, debriefing, and documentation. Over 75 slides in length. This presentation meets OSHA, EPA, & NFPA training requirements.

(Fire Chief or designee)
(i) Site analysis, engineering controls, maximum
exposure, HAZMAT handling, & new
technologies
(ii) Appropriate emergency operations, PPE
(iii) SCBA
OSHA 1910.120 (q)(3)

4. (v) Limit responders & buddy system
(vi) Back-up personnel & EMS
(vii) Knowledgeable safety officer

7. THE VICTIM(s)
Are they still known
to be alive?
How long have they
been exposed?
Is the victim viable?
Is the victim trapped?

8. INCIDENT TERMINATION
SOP’s should be in place to determine
when incident should be terminated
& what should be done during the
termination phase

9. TERMINATION DECISIONS
Has spill been contained in manageable
area?
Is the scene stable?
Is area secure?
Have clean up agencies been notified?
Have all responding agencies been
debriefed?

10. FIRE Dept.'s ROLE

cease when the emergency is
mitigated (OSHA definition)
Normally a qualified contractor finishes
clean up (fire dept. may standby to
mitigate any emergencies)
If an emergency occurs the fire dept. will
resume control

11. WASTE HANDLING
Wastes generated should be placed in a
marked chemical compatible
container
This may include
contaminated
PPE
Absorbent materials
Decon solutions (water)
Chain of custody should be generated

12. DOCUMENTATION
Documentation should be based upon the
need for
Cost recovery
Medical records
Environmental remediation
Legal action
Debriefing session-Lessons learned
Updates of SOP’s & Preplans
