This new 7-part HAZMAT Response operations level series is a comprehensive, sequential reflection of NFPA 472, Professional Competence of Responders to Hazardous Materials Incidents, 2002 edition.
This series allows instructors to track student's progress in the same progression followed by the standard. Each bullet point in the standard is referenced with a video clip and/or graphic to assist firefighters in meeting operations level knowledge. Beyond NFPA 472, this series includes Awareness Level information about terrorism and weapons of mass destruction as it relates to the fire service.
Once you’ve identified the shapes of containers and read their markings, your team must quickly verify information from at least three sources, communicate any dangers and mitigate immediate hazards.
Before your team can take defensive actions, NFPA 472 requires that a thorough plan be formulated. Limiting exposures, clearly defining your incident objectives and determining your defensive options are critical steps in this process.
When a Hazmat incident occurs in your jurisdiction, operations level responders have the responsibility of supporting technician level teams and performing various defensive actions.
For generations, firefighters rarely had to think about terrorism or weapons of mass destruction. But in the post 9-11 world, first responders in every community need to be part of a coordinated effort to protect the public against these threats.
