Types of hazmat transportation land (highway/rail) sea air Define hazmat any material or substance capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property when transported. What training does the HAZMAT Familiarization and Safety in Transportation course provide? applicability and responsibility emergency response general awareness/familiarization security awareness What if the function of a DD Form 626? *Used by the Quality Assurance Specialist- Ammunition Surveillance (QASAS) or vehicle inspector to verify driver documentation and to inspect vehicles before and immediately after they are loaded with HAZMAT *Driver keeps a copy of the form with the shipping papers *Form is used by the receiving ASP or depot for inspection before unloading What do you think the inspector looks for during the vehicle inspection? driver's license vehicle's operating condition (brakes, tires, windshield wiper, tires, mirrors, etc.) Who inspects the vehicle? Specifically trained personnel will inspect the vehicle What are the vehicle requirements to pass inspection? DD Form 626 lists the requirements for a vehicle to pass inspection How many times is the vehicle inspected? Before it's loaded After it's loaded Before it's unloaded What happens if the vehicle does not pass inspection? The vehicle is not loaded until it is repaired or another vehicle (that can pass inspection) is provided Which section of DD Form 626 may be used as a guide to pre-inspect the vehicle before leaving the motor pool? Section II What are the different hazard classes? Hazard class: is a grouping of hazardous materials based on their similar characteristics (gas, liquid, solid) 9 classes: Class 1 Explosives Class 2 Gases (Acetylene and oxygen) Class 3 Flammable liquids (Acetone) Class 4 Flammable Solids, Spontaneously Combustible, or Water Reactive (MRE heater on fire) Class 5 Oxidizers or Organic Peroxides (ammonium nitrate) Class 6 Toxic or Infectious Materials (arsenic trioxide) Class 7 Radioactive Material (different forms of uranium) Class 8 Corrosive Material (hydrochloric acid) Class 9 Miscellaneous Hazardous Material (dry ice) Acronym: Every Good Fire Fighter Ought To Recognize Corrosive Materials What is a compatibility group? materials can be safely transported and stored together without creating a greater hazard HC 1 materials show compatibility through letters (Compatibility groups identify ammo items that can be shipped together.) Identify hazards class(es), check the shipping papers, package labels, and placards Shipping papers: The basic description identifies the material's hazard class Package labels: enables you to identify the hazard class(es) contained in a package Placards: identifies the hazard class of the material a vehicle transports Hazard class knowledge As a HAZMAT employee, knowing the hazard class and what they are capable of doing allows you to safety transport or store hazardous materials. First responders must know the hazard class to correctly respond to the type of emergency (gas, liquid, explosive, etc.) With this information, they can safely control and contain a HAZMAT accident and protect the public. What could happen when hazardous materials that react dangerously when in contact with each other are transported together? Possible Hazards Because of the nature of hazardous materials, if they come in contact with each other, they are capable of producing other hazards i.e. when bleach and ammonia come in contact with each other, they produce a toxic vapor (which is an inhalation hazard). Hazard Class Division Some hazard classes are separated into divisions. These divisions identify the different types of hazard within a hazard class. For example, HC 1 (explosives) can have hazards such as fragmentation or fire in the addition to exploding Learn more HC Division HC 1 1.1 Mass explosion hazard (bombs, 155 projectile) 1.2 Fragmentation hazard (some grenades and 105mm cartridges) 1.3 Fire hazard (propellant, artillery charges) 1.4 Minor explosion hazard (small arms ammunition, smoke grenades) 1.5 Very intensive explosives (blasting agents) 1.6 Extremely intensive explosives (no mass explosive hazard) HC2 ​2.1 Flammable gases (acetylene, butane, hydrogen) ​2.2 Non-flammable, non-poisonous compressed gases (helium, nitrogen, and neon) ​2.3 Gases poisonous by inhalation (chlorine, ammonia anhydrous, carbon monoxide) HC 3 Materials that ignite easily. This is due to flash point. A flash point is the temperature at which a material gives off enough vapor to ignite. (fuel aviation turbine engine (JP-8), gasoline, and some alcohol beverages) HC 4 ​4.1 Flammable solids that catch fire easily (safety or strike anywhere matches) 4.2 Spontaneously combustible materials that can catch fire without a separate heat source (charcoal briquettes, linseed oil) ​4.3 Dangerous when wet materials (materials that can explode or emit flammable gas when in contact with water) i.e. potassium, sodium, MRE heaters HC 5 5.1 Oxidizer: materials that does not burn on its own, but gives off oxygen, which could cause other materials to burn i.e. ammonium nitrate fertilizer, hydrogen peroxide 5.2 Organic peroxide (liquid or solid) that contain oxygen i.e. polyester resin kits used to patch vehicle tires or repair boats HC 6 ​6.1 Poisonous materials (liquid or solid) so toxic to humans that it is a hazard to health i.e. potassium cyanide, arsenic 6.2 Infectious substances: an organism that causes virus or infection in humans or animals i.e. medical waste, virus cultures HC 7 A radioactive material is any material containing unstable isotopes I.e. uranium, plutonium, thorium Note: any time you receive or ship radioactive materials, you must work with your Radiation Safety Officer HC 8 Materials (liquid or solid) that causes destruction to the human body upon contact (also includes liquids that corrode metals, like steel or aluminum) i.e. sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide HC 9 Material that presents a hazard during transportation and does not fail under any of the other eight hazard classes I.e. asbestos,, airbag inflators, dry ice when transported by air or vessel, cotton, when transported by land or vessel What type of information is found on a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)/Safety Data Sheet (SDS)? First source of information used to create shipping papers, mark and label packages, and placard vehicles. It provides crucial information for Hazard Class 2 thru 9 materials. Describes who made the material, the ingredients that make up the material, and possible hazards of the material (birth certificate) Why is correct Hazmat information important? Correct Hazmat information provides safe and handling procedures, which can prevent accidents MSDS/SDS and Hazmat Communication Guides you to the information in the 49 CFR. The 49 CFR gives the information to correctly prepare Hazmat communication (i.e. shipping papers, package markings and labels, and placards)
