Hazardous MaterialsHazardous Materials
Defined in numerous ways
Simplified Definition-Any material that, because of its quantity, concentration, or
physical or chemical characteristics, may pose a real hazard to human health or the
environment.

Hazardous Materials IncidentsHazardous Materials Incidents
“Haz-Mat” incidents are unique incidents. They require specialized protective measures not normally
available to first responders AND they demand a different operational approach!

“Duty to Act”“Duty to Act”
• Public safety responders have a “Duty to Act”.
• Level of involvement is defined by employer’s Emergency Response Plan (ERP).
• NEVER exceed level of training and protection!

Six Basic Clues to RecognitionSix Basic Clues to Recognition
1 - Occupancy and location.
2 - Container shape and size.
3 - Placards and labels.
4 –Material Safety Data Sheets
5 - Markings and colors.
6 - Human senses.

Clue # 1 - Occupancy and LocationClue # 1 - Occupancy and Location
• Specific occupancy or general area.
• Fixed facilities.• Five modes of hazardous materials
transportation:– Rail, air, marine, highway and
pipeline.
![Page 9: First Responder Awareness Level Training Modified Occupational Health and Safety Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649eb25503460f94bb8b26/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Clue # 2 - Container Shape and SizeClue # 2 - Container Shape and Size
• Classifications– Portable, fixed or transportation.
• Pressure– Non-pressurized, low or high pressure.
• Vapor Pressure and Storage– The higher the pressure, the greater
the potential for catastrophic failure.– BLEVE!
