Federal Emergency Management Agency United States Fire Administration Hazardous Materials Guide for First Responders Hazardous Materials Guide First Responders for How to Use this Guide If you know the Chemical/Material Name: 1. Go to the Specific Material Guides è locate the chemical in the alphabetical listing 2. If you are unable to locate the chemical in the Specific Material Guide: è Go the Alphabetical Material Name Index è locate the chemical in the alphabetical listing è go to the page listed for guidance information 3. If the chemical is not found in the index, go to the HAZMAT General Response Scheme If you have only the UN Number for the Chemical/Material: 1. Go to the UN/NA Number Index è locate the UN/NA number in the numerical listing è go to the page listed for guidance information 2. If material UN number is not found in the index go to the HAZMAT General Response Scheme If you have only NFPA Placard Information: 1. Go to the guidance information for using the NFPA 704 Placard If you have only DOT Placard information: 1. Go the HAZMAT General Response Scheme WARNING! The best time to learn how to use this book is BEFORE you need it. Train with this book the way you would train with any new piece of equipment - in advance! Hazardous Materials Guide for First Responders The information in this book was collected from a variety of sources which were reviewed by the Firefighters’ Safety Study Technical Commit- tee and are believed to be accurate. However, the Federal Emergency Management Agency makes no claim that these data and recommenda- tions are either correct or sufficient and assumes no liability for any adverse consequences arising from their use. The action recommendations in this book should be considered as suggestions only. Specific circumstances at the scene of an incident as well as the number and training of first responders will dictate what actions are actually appropriate. Final decisions are the responsibility of the Incident Commander. Acknowledgments This document was prepared under a Cooperative Agreement (EMW-93-K-4351) between the Federal Emergency Management Agency/United States Fire Administration and the University of Louisville. The data was assembled and formatted by an active Writing Committee with direction and oversight by the Firefighters’ Safety Study Project Commit- tee. Technical content was also reviewed under a separate contract (EMW-3-4649) with Louisiana State University. Writing Committee George C. Rodgers, Jr., Editor Steve Burton Gary M.

Objectives This book is the result of an extensive study of available hazardous materials response resources for first responders undertaken by the United States Fire Administration (USFA) as part of the Firefighters’ Safety Study Act of 1990 (P.L. 101- 446). The study concluded that, while several excellent and technically accurate resources are available, none are directed to the specific needs of the first responder trained at the Awareness or Operational Levels of Training; the training levels of most first responders. It is the hope and the intent of the USFA that this book will be that much needed resource. This book provides important information for the initial response to both transportation and fixed facility incidents. It has been designed to present the first responder with a maximum amount of useful key information in a limited amount of space. As with any reference, it cannot include all information that might be useful or discuss all situations which might occur; nor can it replace the training and experience of individual responders. The information contained in this book has been reviewed by several sources and is as technically accurate as possible. For major incidents it will be necessary to obtain more detailed information from other resources as well as more advanced expertise from those with more extensive training. It is assumed that those using this book will have had some training in hazardous materials response. Because most first responders are trained at the Awareness or Operational levels, this book is directed at appropriate responses for these levels of training. These levels are defined below as published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 472, 1992) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA 1910.120). OSHA 1910.120 First Responder At Awareness Level: First responders at the Awareness Level are individuals who are likely to witness or discover a hazardous substance release and who have been trained to initiate an emergency response sequence uploads/Geographie/ haz-guide 1 .pdf
