Typical Roles of the Operations Level Responder Include

Back 338

1. Respond to the emergency
2. Assess the nature of the incident
3. Implement Initial response Actions
4. Notify other involved parties
5. Ask for additional assistance, as needed

Front 339

While preparing yourself to request assistance you should

Back 339

1. Be aware of all available resources
2. Established and maintain a resource listing

Front 340

The Incident Command Post Should be located

Back 340

1. In a Large area, upwind and uphill from the incident

Front 343

SPEED is important during this activity

Back 343

Emergency DECON

Front 344

Define DECON

Back 344

The process of reducing & preventing the spread on contamination from people and equipment involved in a HAZMAT incident

Front 345

Define Emergency DECON

Back 345

The process of immediately reducing contamination of people in life threatening situations. Emergency DECON reduces the risk of secondary contamination, particularly for medical/ambulance personnel

Front 346

List The (8) Steps to Emergency DECON

Back 346

Step #1: Remove the victim from the contaminated area
Step #2: Immediately wash any exposed body parts with flooding quantities of water
Step #3: Remove the victims helmet or other head gear
Step # 4: Remove the victims breathing apparatus
Step #5: Remove all contaminated clothing
Step #6: Remove the victim to a clean area
Step #7: Send the victim for medical treatment as soon as DECON is completed
Step #8: Brief all medical and hospital personnel about the contaminants involved

Front 347

When Working in PPE follow these two procedures or safety precautions:

Back 347

1. Always use the “Buddy System"
2. Establish “Back-up Personnel”

Front 348

This concept ensures:
1. No one involved in operations at an incident works alone.
2. And helps keep account of everyone and ensures safety

Back 348

“Buddy System”

Front 349

Rules For “Back-up Personnel”:

Back 349

1. Back up personnel should be deployed immediately in the event of an emergency
2. Should be dressed to the point of only requiring connecting their air supply.
3. Should be located in the warm zone just upwind of the DECON corridor
4. Should be equipped to the same level of protection as the team they are replacing.
5. If back-up team is placed in action… they should have their own back up team in place before entering.

Heat Rash

Front 353

This develops after physical exertion in extremely hot environments, or under conditions that cause profuse sweating and depletion of body fluids and electrolytes
Symptoms include Cramps in the extremities (arms, legs and abdomen), Caused by the depletion of water and salt in the body
Generally, the body’s core temperature does not increase

A mild form of shock
Not immediately threatening, but should be treated immediately
Profuse sweating is a symptom
