Section II: Predetermined Procedures and Emergency Response Plans II. PREDETERMINED PROCEDURES AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANS Ask Students: What are the Awareness-Level personnel s responsibilities at an incident involving hazardous materials? Briefly discuss answers with students. Remind students that Awareness-Level personnel are expected to assume the following responsibilities: Recognize the presence or potential presence of a hazardous material Recognize the type of container at a site and identify the material in it if possible Transmit information to an appropriate authority and call for appropriate assistance Identify actions to protect themselves and others from hazards Establish scene control by isolating the hazardous area and denying entry pp Objective 1 Discuss predetermined procedures and emergency response plans. Ask Students: predetermined procedures called in your jurisdiction? Briefly discuss answers with students. Explain that procedures may be referred to as standard operating procedures (SOPs), standard operating guidelines (SOGs), or operating instructions (OIs). A. Predetermined Procedures 1. Spell out role of personnel at emergency incidents 2. OSHA 29 CFR requires emergency response organizations to develop emergency response plans that cover: a. Pre-emergency planning and coordination with outside parties b. Personnel roles, lines of authority, training, and communication c. Emergency recognition and prevention d. Safe distances and places of refuge e. Site security and control f. Evacuation routes and procedures g. Decontamination h. Emergency medical treatment and first aid i.

Lists several recommendations for each area to further assist in the decision-making process CAUTION: First responders must be properly trained to conduct the actions recommended by the ERG before attempting to perform them. They must also have the proper equipment to do so. c. Fire section Includes information on what type of extinguishing agent to use on large fires, small fires, and fires involving bulk containers d. Spill or leak section i. Provides actions to take in regards to spills and leaks ii. Provides basic information needed to mitigate a spill e. First aid section i.

Many recommendations beyond scope of Awareness-Level personnel WARNING: Awareness-Level personnel should not handle or touch contaminated or potentially contaminated victims! E. ERG Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances (Green Pages) 1. Contains a table that lists TIH materials; materials highlighted in yellow- and bluebordered pages 2. Provides safe isolation and protective action distances for both small and large spills Ask Students: What is the difference between a small spill and a large spill? Briefly discuss answers with students. Explain that a small spill is one that involves a single, small package (up to a 55-gallon [208 L]), small cylinder, or small leak from a large package. A large spill is one that involves a spill from a large package or multiple spills from many small packages. 3. Also divided into daytime and nighttime situations 4. Initial isolation distances a.
