Class 6, Division 1 ️Sarin and V-agent are hazardous materials that can be used in a criminal or terrorist incident. What is their DOT class and division? Class 2, Division 3 ️Cyanogen chloride and Phosgene are hazardous materials that can be used in a criminal or terrorist incident. What is their DOT class and division? 1. Chlorine Institute 2. DOT National Response Center 3. Department of Defense Except/ NOT = Chemical Mixers Association ️CHEMTREC has access to what three resources? 1. use of weapons 2. booby traps 3. secondary contamination from handling patients 4. armed resistance Except/ NOT= unusual topography ️What are the four examples of hazards that could indicate criminal or terrorist activity? Anywhere flammable vapors could migrate. ️At a highway incident, Responder Smith notices that a large amount of gasoline has been spilled on the highway. He knows that all ignition sources must be eliminated. Based on the typical behavior of the contents, where should he start? Chemical stress ️A chemical inside a container has come into contact with an incompatable substance and is now degrading its own container. When Responder Bell describes the situation to CHEMTREC, Watson refers to:? Spill or leak ️As Responder Pete pulled up to the scene, he noticed a slow but steady stream of liquid material being released from the bottom of the tank. The content was probably a? minutes and hours ️A short term contamination usually last how long? Green ️What color pages of the ERG contain the size of the endangered area? 1. Genetic defects 2. shortened life span 3. Cancer ️What are three late effects that may result from radiation exposure? 1. How many exposures are in the vicinity? 2. Is the material inside the tank a liquid or a gas? 3. What are the surrounding conditions? Except/ NOT= How large is the hot zone for this incident? ️Responder Brown is at an incident involving an overturn tank truck. It appears as though the tank has been breached, although Brown does not see any visible signs of a release. As he studies the scene and decides whether or not to intervene, Brown should ask all of the following 4 questions? Mutagen ️What is the Chronic health hazard that causes mutations in DNA? Carcinogen ️What is the Chronic health hazard that has been evaluated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer? Teratogen ️What is the Chronic health hazard that causes growth abnormalties in embryos, or genetic modifications in cells? 1. time of day 2. size of breach 3. type of occupancies 4. size of the endagered area ️What are four factors that should be considered when attempting to determine the number and type of exposures at a HazMat incident? 1. Chemical injury 2. Mechanical injury 3. thermal injury 4. asphyxiation ️What are four types of harm that can result from exposure to gases stored in containers that may be under pressure during a rescue operation? 1. Chemical injury 2. thermal injury 3. etiological harm ️What are three types of harm that can result from exposure to toxic/poisonous materials during a rescue operation? managed like any other corrosive injury even though radiation was involved. ️During an incedent response, victims who have been exposed and contaminated through radiation and are experiencing chemical burns should be:? participate in specific traing exercises. ️What should the user do to be fully competent to use a specific CPC suit? 1. Ice vest are not as effective as a full-body cooling suits for controlling the core body temperature. 2. Suit cooling systems add weight and bulk to the suit. 3. Air cooled systems require an air line and large quantites of air.
