Types of hazmat transportation
land (highway/rail)
sea
air
Define hazmat
any material or substance capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and
property when transported.
What training does the HAZMAT Familiarization and Safety in Transportation course
provide?
applicability and responsibility
emergency response
general awareness/familiarization
security awareness
What if the function of a DD Form 626?
*Used by the Quality Assurance Specialist-
Ammunition Surveillance (QASAS) or vehicle inspector to verify driver documentation
and to inspect vehicles before and immediately after they are loaded with HAZMAT
*Driver keeps a copy of the form with the shipping papers
*Form is used by the receiving ASP or depot for inspection before unloading
What do you think the inspector looks for during the vehicle inspection?
driver's license
vehicle's operating condition (brakes, tires, windshield wiper, tires, mirrors, etc.)
Who inspects the vehicle?
Specifically trained personnel will inspect the vehicle
What are the vehicle requirements to pass inspection?
DD Form 626 lists the requirements for a vehicle to pass inspection
How many times is the vehicle inspected?
Before it's loaded
After it's loaded
Before it's unloaded
What happens if the vehicle does not pass inspection?
The vehicle is not loaded until it is repaired or another vehicle (that can pass inspection)
is provided
Which section of DD Form 626 may be used as a guide to pre-inspect the vehicle
before leaving the motor pool?
Section II
What are the different hazard classes?
Hazard class: is a grouping of hazardous materials based on their similar characteristics
(gas, liquid, solid)
9 classes:
Class 1 Explosives
Class 2 Gases (Acetylene and oxygen)
Class 3 Flammable liquids (Acetone)
, Class 4 Flammable Solids, Spontaneously Combustible, or Water Reactive (MRE
heater on fire)
Class 5 Oxidizers or Organic Peroxides (ammonium nitrate)
Class 6 Toxic or Infectious Materials (arsenic trioxide)
Class 7 Radioactive Material (different forms of uranium)
Class 8 Corrosive Material (hydrochloric acid)
Class 9 Miscellaneous Hazardous Material (dry ice)
Acronym:
Every Good Fire Fighter Ought To Recognize Corrosive Materials
What is a compatibility group?
materials can be safely transported and stored together without creating a greater
hazard
HC 1 materials show compatibility through letters (Compatibility groups identify ammo
items that can be shipped together.)
Identify hazards class(es), check the shipping papers, package labels, and placards
Shipping papers: The basic description identifies the material's hazard class
Package labels: enables you to identify the hazard class(es) contained in a package
Placards: identifies the hazard class of the material a vehicle transports
Hazard class knowledge
As a HAZMAT employee, knowing the hazard class and what they are capable of doing
allows you to safety transport or store hazardous materials.
First responders must know the hazard class to correctly respond to the type of
emergency (gas, liquid, explosive, etc.) With this information, they can safely control
and contain a HAZMAT accident and protect the public.
What could happen when hazardous materials that react dangerously when in contact
with each other are transported together?
Possible Hazards
Because of the nature of hazardous materials, if they come in contact with each other,
they are capable of producing other hazards
i.e. when bleach and ammonia come in contact with each other, they produce a toxic
vapor (which is an inhalation hazard).
Hazard Class Division
Some hazard classes are separated into divisions. These divisions identify the different
types of hazard within a hazard class. For example, HC 1 (explosives) can have
hazards such as fragmentation or fire in the addition to exploding

HC 1
1.1 Mass explosion hazard (bombs, 155 projectile)
1.2 Fragmentation hazard (some grenades and 105mm cartridges)
1.3 Fire hazard (propellant, artillery charges)
1.4 Minor explosion hazard (small arms ammunition, smoke grenades)
1.5 Very intensive explosives (blasting agents)
1.6 Extremely intensive explosives (no mass explosive hazard)
HC2
2.1 Flammable gases (acetylene, butane, hydrogen)
