(Preregistration is required) NFPA 473 Standard for Competencies for EMS Personnel Responding to Hazardous Materials/Weapons of Mass Destruction Incidents, 2013 Edition Instructors: Tracie Young-Brungard, Lou Brungard Bucks County Community College HAZMAT for BLS providers / NFPA 473 Course, 20 hours (Starting at 8:30 am on Thursday, August 24 and ending at noon on Saturday August 26). This program will cover the requirements for EMS BLS responders and/or other first responders who may encounter patients exposed to hazardous substances. It includes the proper personal protection requirements for responders, patient protection actions to reduce contamination and procedures for protection of EMS equipment and reducing spread of contaminants. Students will be required to provide turnout gear and SCBA for course work. Student registration pre-requisites PaDOH Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) minimum and have within one year prior to this program completed the HAZMAT Operations or HAZMAT Operations Refresher training course. The course is limited to 30 students. Also see Saturday class at 12:00 P.M., NFPA 473. EMS continuing education credits are available as follows: Level Total Med/Trauma Other FR EMT EMT-P PHRN :00 A.M. 4:00 P.M. (Preregistration is required) Portable Pipelines for the First Responder (PPFR) Instructor: To Be Announced Pennsylvania State Fire Academy This class is designed to help first responders at the awareness or operations level understand new energy technologies designed to bring low cost effective fuels to end-user sites throughout the country.

2 8:00 A.M. 4:00 P.M. DOT PHMSA 8 Hour Rail HazMat Response Operations Instructor: Tyler Pendleton, CET The All Hazards Training Center at The University of Findlay has developed the Rail Car Incident Response for Crude, Ethanol, and Other Flammable Liquids training course for the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (DOT PHMSA) to educate emergency responders on freight rail car incidents involving hazardous materials, specifically crude oil, ethanol, and other flammable liquids. As more and more rail traffic transports cargo, including hazardous materials, it is important that the responder community become educated about the dangers and unique hazards presented with rail cars carrying these commodities. The information covered in this training course will enhance the ability of emergency responders to assess the scene of a rail car incident, understand the resources needed to remediate the emergency situation, including how the railroad will play a critical role in the response. Attendees will receive a Federal certificate from the University. 1:00 P.M. 4:00 P. M. Bottom s Up! Instructors to be announced Weavertown Environmental Group This is a roll-over tractor that simulates tanker crashes and spills. It is the only such equipment in existence. This is used to train emergency response teams on how to handle tanker crashes. One of the most uncertain problems for hazmat teams occurs when tankers carrying hazardous materials crash and the contents begin leaking. Emergency personnel need to know how tankers work how to stop leaks from various areas of the tank and how to prevent problems from worsening. Bottom s Up allows individuals to get on it, touch, feel and plug and patch. Attendees need to bring Turn-Out-Gear. Friday August 25, :00 A.M. 4:00 P.M.

4 Assemble and use common industrial retrieval devices Understand the requirements established by OSHA for the rescue of personnel at risk of injury or death in a permit required confined space This course will involve classroom as well as hands-on training using MEI s Confined Space Simulator. Participants will participate in the retrieval/rescue of injured personnel (simulated injury) that is in compliance with the OSHA requirements for annual refresher training for PRCSp personnel expected to participate in PRCSp rescues. Students should dress appropriately for field training involving climbing, crawling and maneuvering in close quarters. Gloves, safety glasses and hard hats will be supplied but participants may use their own equipment if compliant with nationally recognized safety standards. 1:00 P.M. 4:00 P.M. Improvised Explosive Device Recognition and Bomb Threat Management Instructors: Joe Sweeney, Bill Wojnar, Sgt. Allegheny County Bomb Squad This one-day curriculum is designed to assist all categories of first responders, emergency management, security and/or corporate personnel that could be called to respond to, or manage a possible improvised explosive device (IED) incident and/or bomb threat. The course gives participants in depth perspective to help identify possible threats, conduct safe and effective searches, develop action plans and SOP s, and provide the necessary knowledge to make good decisions. A portion of the course also will assist various types of emergency responders that could be called upon to respond to a possible homemade lab, or assist in locating, identifying and rendering safe suspected homemade labs, including meth labs. Practical exercises, outdoor demonstration and mock-ups included. 3:00 P.M. 4:30 P.M. Highway Work Zone Traffic Incident Management (WZ-TIM) Instructor: Todd Leiss, Emergency and Incident Management Coordinator Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission The US DOT FHWA has developed a new training presentation for first responders on the best practices on prevention, response and follow-up involving Work Zone Traffic Incident Management (WZ TIM). Dealing with a motor vehicle crash or similar incidents in a highway construction zone requires the combined skills of many people including police, fire, emergency medical services (EMS), highway agency, and contractor personnel. WZ TIM is more complicated than ordinary TIM because access to the incident site is often difficult, there is 4

5 limited space for response operations, and there are more organizations to coordinate. Response can be hampered by the combined effect of incident traffic backups and construction closures. 3:00 P.M. 4:30 P.M. DOT-ERG 2016 and Shipping Papers Instructor: Anthony Murray U. S. Dept. of Transportation The Emergency Response Guidebook 2016 (ERG) was developed jointly by the US DOT, Transport Canada, and the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation of Mexico for use by firefighters, police and other emergency services personnel who may be the first to arrive at the scene of a transportation incident involving a hazardous material. It is primarily a guide to aid first responders in: (1) quickly identifying the specific or generic classification of the material(s) involved in the incident, and (2) protecting themselves and the general public during this initial response phase of the incident. PHMSA offers an "Overview of the Emergency Response Guidebook" informational presentation. This is part of US DOT s effort to get responders to become familiar with the Guidebook before using it during an emergency. Saturday August 26, :00 A.M. 12:00 P.M.

Meters 101: Mission Specific for Operational Trained Responders Instructor: Frank Docimo Docimo and Associates It is so important that the recent NFPA 472 update requires that even Operational Level Trained responders have a good understanding of basic air monitoring equipment. Most responders under-utilize their detectors in standard HAZMAT response and seem to get away with it. But in a true chemical event, the importance of monitoring is critical in making key decisions, such as identifying a hoax, establishing zones, making evacuation decisions, mandating PPE and determining decontamination needs. This program will focus on using and understanding the Devices In Hand that most Engine Company and Operational Trained Responders have available to them. 1:00 P.M. 3:00 P.M.
