HAZMAT Chapter 5 Objectives
Questions & Answers
Explain how to estimate the potential harm or severity of an incident. - answer
Understanding threshold limit values, permissible exposure limits, and recommended
exposure levels will help us understand the environment we are dealing with.

Explain how exposures might be affected by various types of hazardous materials
incidents. - answer The location of the incident, the physical/chemical properties of
substances, and the amount of progress made in protecting exposures can all
contribute to how exposures affect others.

Isolate the hazardous area (including preventing people from leaving and
entering...LEO's help), evacuate people who have been exposed to safe locations for
decon, shelter-in-place those who have not been exposed as long as they will have
clean air, people could get exposed through a large size and scope of HAZMAT,
determine the concentration of HAZMAT, and be wary of skin contact due to absorption.

Describe how to plan an initial response. - answer Understand the nature of the
incident and determine a course of action to keep responders safe and provide an
effective means to control the incident.

Our response objectives should be: measurable, flexible, time-sensitive, and based on
chosen strategy. Offensive helps us get into the hot zone, defensive are just outside of
the hot zone, and non-intervention are "let it burn" strategies when hot zone is too
dangerous to enter.

Describe how to select personal protective equipment for an incident. - answer
Selected based upon: HAZMAT involved, specific hazards present, physical state of
HAZMAT, and consideration of tasks to be performed.

NFPA 1991 - standard on vapor-protective ensembles for HAZMAT emergencies and
CBRN incidents.

NFPA 1992 - standard on liquid splash-protective ensembles and clothing for HAZMAT
emergencies.

HFPA 1994 - standard on protective ensembles for first responders to HAZMAT
emergencies and CBRN incidents.

Identify and describe the types of personal protective equipment needed for hazardous
materials incidents. - answer Structural firefighting protective clothing - support
functions only; no chem-protection.
