Incidents involving hazardous materials are always dangerous; multiple factors may combine
that can instantaneously change the course of an incident. Your responsibilities include:

· planning response operations within the capabilities and competencies of available personnel,
personal protective equipment (PPE), and control equipment
· ensuring the development of a site safety plan
,Site safety plan considerations include: ✔Correct Answer-site description
entry objectives
on-site organization
on-site control
hazard evaluation
personal protective equipment
on-site work plans
communication procedures
decontamination procedures
site safety and health plan
As the Incident Commander, you must: ✔Correct Answer-· implement an ICS, including
specified procedures for notifying and using outside resources (e.g., private, state, and federal
government personnel)
· direct these resources and provide management overview, technical review, and logistical
support

state to the vapor state without passing through the liquid state
All of the following statements about vapor pressure are true EXCEPT ✔Correct Answer-· the
higher the boiling point of a liquid, the greater the vapor pressure at a given temperature.
ignition or auto-ignition temperature ✔Correct Answer-minimum temperature to which a
material must be heated without an outside ignition source in order for sustained combustion
to take place.
Given a mystery substance, of the terms listed below, which represents the highest
temperature? ✔Correct Answer-Ignition temperature

combine to form larger molecules
catalyst ✔Correct Answer-controls the rate of a chemical reaction by either speeding it up or
slowing it down.
