TCFP & GFD HAZMAT AWARENESS/OPS
TEST 2025 NEW EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
Hazardous material is defined as any substance or material in a quantity or form that
may pose an unreasonable risk to health, safety, or property during transportation,
storage, or use in commerce.
During a radiological incident involving a leak or spill, hazardous materials first
responders should follow the exposure control principles of time, distance, and
shielding to minimize radioactive contamination.
The Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG), published by the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT), is a reference manual designed to help emergency responders
quickly identify specific hazards during the initial phase of an incident.
Each guide section in the Emergency Response Guidebook addresses two main types
of potential hazards: health hazards and fire or explosion hazards.
The measures implemented to protect the health and safety of emergency
responders and the public during incidents involving hazardous material releases are
known as protective actions.

hazardous materials
