Abstract
Hazardous Materials Incidents: Surviving the Initial Response
by Steven M. DeLisi
Hazardous Materials Incidents: Surviving the Initial Response : First responders who arrive on the scene of a hazardous materials incident may be assigned to an engine, ladder truck, rescue, or ambulance with very little sophisticated HAZMAT equipment. Despite these limitations, their actions during the initial response will often set the stage for the success or failure of the entire event.
Many incidents start out as minor “routine” events that suddenly escalate when something goes terribly wrong! First responders, despite their best intentions, can quickly become part of any hazardous materials problem. The results can be first responders who are killed or seriously injured, or those who suffer devastating illnesses years after exposure to a hazardous material.
