Tcfp HazMat Operations Possible
2023/ 129 Questions and Answers
When responding to hazardous materials/WMD incidents Operations level responders
shall be able to preform the following task... - -
1. Analyze a HazMat incident to determine the scope of the problem
2. Plan an initial response
3. Implement a planned response
4. Evaluate the progress
-Analyzing a hazardous material incident to determine the scope of the problem
involves... -
-1. Surveying the incident to identify containers and materials involved, determine if
wether hazardous material has been released and evaluate the surrounding conditions
2. Collect hazard and response information from SDS, CHEMTREC and
shipping/manufacturer contracts
3.Predict the behavior of Hazardous materials and its container
4.Estimate the potential harm through TRACE-MP
-What does TRACE-MP stand for? - -Types of potential harm at Hazardous
Material/WMD incidents.
Thermal
Radiation
Asphyxiation
Chemical
Etiological
Mechanical
Psychological/ Psychogenic
,-The initial response at a HazMat incident is determined by.. - -The capabilities and
competencies of available personnel and personal protective equipment
-The response objectives at a hazardous material/WMD incident include... - -
1.Evacuation
2. Search and Rescue
3. Exposure protection/ Isolating the Area
4. Defensive control techniques
5. Crime scene management and evidence preservation
6. Recovery and termination
-Describe the response options available for Evacuation - -1. Full scale evacuation
2. Shelter-in-place
3. Combination
-Describe the response options available for Search and Rescue - -1. Based on training
and equipment
2. Risk-benefit analysis (risk a lot to save a lot, risk a little to save a little)
-Describe the response options available for Exposure protection/Isolating the Area - -
1.Establish initial isolation zone
2.Establish protective action distance
3. Establish control zones
-Describe the response options available for Defensive Control Techniques - -1.
Damming (Overflow or Underflow)
2. Diking
3. Retention
4. Dispersion
5. Absorption
6. Adsorption
7. Dilution
, 8. Dissolution
9. Diversion
10. Vapor dispersion
11. Vapor suppression
12. Ventilation
13. Remote valve shutoff
-What is Damming... - -Physical method of confinement by which barriers are
constructed to prevent or reduce the quantity of liquid flowing into the environment.
Consists of constructing a barrier across a waterway to stop/control the product flow
and pick up liquid or solid contaminants
-What is Underflow Damming ... - -Spill control tactic used to trap floating lighter than
water materials behind the dam. Dam is constructed in a manner that allows
uncontaminated water to flow unobstructed under the dam while keeping the
contaminant behind the dam.
-What is Overflow Damming... - -Spill control tactic used to trap sinking heavier than
water materials behind the dam. With the product trapped, uncontaminated water is
allowed to flow unobstructed over the top of the dam.
-What is Diking... - -Physical method of confinement by which barriers are constructed
on ground used to control the movement of liquids, sludges, solids, or other materials.
Prevents the passage of hazmat from entering an area where it will produce more harm.
-What is retention... - -Physical method of confinement by which a liquid is temporarily
contained in an area where it can be absorbed, neutralized, or picked up for proper
disposal
-What is dispersion... - -Chemical method of confinement by which certain chemical
and biological agents are used to disperse or break up the material involved in liquid
spills on water
