RFR Chapter 6 Managing the Incident
1. The hazardous materials and process actually starts as soon as emergency
responders are notified and dispatched to the incident.: recognition and identification
2. The hazardous materials recognition and identification process actually starts as soon as emergency
responders are and to the incident.: - notified
and dispatched
3. Managing a hazmat incident is much like trying to manage a .: war
4. Among the most critical tasks in managing a hazmat incident are:
the incident scene to detect the presence of hazmats,
the nature of the problem and the materials involved,
the type of hazmat container and the nature of its release.: surveting identifying
identifying
5. This effort is made more difficult by the number and variety of hazardous materials found in and the
increasing likelihood of hazmats being used for both and terrorism events.: society
criminal
6. The process starts with a survey of the incident site and surrounding conditions.: identification
7. Responders should complete the following tasks:
(1) Identify the involved;
(2) identify the presence and condition of the involved;
(3) the conditions at the incident site, e.g., injuries, exposures, topography, and environment: hazmats
containers assess
8. The identification process is built on the following basic elements:
: Recognition
Identification
Classification
9. the presence of hazardous materials: recognize
10. the hazardous materials involved and the nature of the problem: iden- tification
, RFR Chapter 6 Managing the Incident
11. -determine the general hazard class or chemical family of the haz- ardous material: classification
12.classification includes determining the general hazard
or
chemical : class
family
13. clues include occupancy and location, container shapes, markings and colors, placards and labels,
shipping and facility documents, monitoring and detection instruments, and senses.: Basic classification
14. hazmat identification clues include container
markings,
shipping and facility documents, and monitoring and detection
instruments.: Primary these are more specific
15. clues include
occupancy and location, container
shapes,
placards and labels,
monitoring and detection instruments, senses.: Basic Classification
more general
16.When dealing with unknown substances, responders should rely on
instruments
analytical kits,: monitoring
chemical
17.monitoring instruments and chemical analytical kits use a process to determine the identity and hazards.:
systematic
18.responders may not always be able to identify the hazmat(s) involved, they will usually be able to determine
the hazard or family: class
chemical
19.Emergency responders rely on basic clues as part of their identifica- tion process.: seven
20.Look for hazmats in every incident; then or at least the material.-

21.To ensure personnel safety during size-up, many emergency responders rely on binoculars or spotting
telescopes for .: identification
22.These tools have many applications, including surveying outdoor and indoor incidents to information
such as container labels and markings, and other clues from a distance.: verify
binoculars or spotting telescopes
23.Although they provide a narrow field of vision, can also be a useful tool for the
identification process.: telescopes
24.Hazardous materials surround us every day—not only in transportation and industrial facilities but in
stores, hospitals, supermarkets, warehouses, garages, and even in our homes. These potential locations can be
categorized into four basic areas
: production
transportation storage
use
25.The key for determining these potential sites is through the process.: hazard analysis

department, the Lo- cal Emergency Planning
Committee (LEPC), and other government agencies when on-site quantities exceed established threshold values:
