What are the seven clues to the presence of hazardous materials?
|
1. Occupancy types, locations, and pre-incident surveys
2. Container shapes 3. Transportation placards, labels, and markings 4. Other markings and colors (nontransportation) 5. Written resources 6. Senses 7. Monitoring and detection devices |
|
|
What items do pre-incident surveys identify?
|
• Exposures (people, property, and environment)
• Types, quantities, and locations of hazardous materials in the area • Dangers of the hazardous materials • Building features (location of fixed fire-suppression systems, etc.) • Site characteristics • Possible access/egress difficulties • Inherent limitations of the responding organizations to control certain types of haz mat emergencies |
|
|
List high probable locations for finding significant quantities of hazardous materials.
|
• Fuel storage facilities • Gas/service stations • Paint supply stores • Plant nurseries, garden centers, and agricultural facilities • Pest control and lawn care companies • Medical facilities • Photo processing laboratories • Dry cleaners • Plastics and high-technology factories • Metal-plating businesses • Mercantile concerns (hardware stores, groceries stores, department stores) • Chemistry (and other) laboratories in educational facilities • Lumberyards • Feed/farm stores • Veterinary clinics • Print shops • Warehouses • Industrial and utility plants • Port shipping facilities • Treatment storage disposal (TSD) facilities

What is bulk packaging?
|
Packaging, other than that on a vessel or barge, in which materials are loaded with no intermediate form of containment.
(ex: transport vehicle or freight container such as a cargo tank, railcar, or portable tank) |
|
|
To be considered bulk packaging, one out of the following three criteria must be met. Name the three criteria.
|
• Maximum capacity is greater than 119 gallons (450 L) as a receptacle for a liquid.
• Maximum net mass is greater than 882 pounds (400 kg) or maximum capacity is greater than 119 gallons (450 L) as a receptacle for a solid. • Water capacity is 1,001 pounds (454 kg) or greater as a receptacle for a gas. |
|
|
What is nonbulk packaging?
|
Packaging that is smaller than the minimum criteria established for bulk packaging.
(ex: drums, boxes, carboys, and bags) |
|
|
