1. Level A suit: Fully enveloping suit
2. Level B suit: SCBA on outside of suit
3. Heat Exhaustion: Mild form of shock that occurs when the circulatory system begins to fail because the body
is unable to dissipate excessive heat and becomes overheated.
4. Heat stroke: A severe and potentially fatal condition resulting from the failure of the temperature-regulating
capacity of the body.
5. Control zones: Designated areas at a hazardous materials incident based on safety and the degree of hazard
6. Hot zone: The area immediately around and adjacent to the incident
7. Warm zone: The area where personnel and equipment are staged before they enter and after they leave the
hot zone
8. Cold zone: Safe area
9. Backup personnel: Used to ensure the safety of emergency crews
10. Absorption: To absorb
11. Confinement: The process of keeping a hazardous material on the site or within the immediate area of the
release
12. Contaminant: Actions relating to stopping at hazardous material container from leaking
13. Vapor dispersion: The process of lowering the concentration of vapors by spreading them out
14. Vapor suppression: The process of controlling vapors given off by hazardous materials, thereby preventing
vapor ignition, by covering the product with foam or other material or by reducing the temperature of the material
15. Cross-contamination: The process by which a contaminant is carried out of the hot zone and contami-
nates people, animals, the environment, or equipment
16. Decontamination: The physical or chemical process of removing any form of contamination from a person,
an animal, an object, or the environment
17. Decontamination Corridor: A controlled area between the warm zone and the hot zone, through which
all persons who enter the hot zone will exit for decontamination
18. Decontamination team: Yeah
19. Emulsification: The process of changing the chemical properties of a hazardous material to reduce it's
harmful effects
20. Grossed decontamination: The process of removing the outer clothing and generally flushing most
contaminants from the victim; the initial phase of the decontamination process during which the amount of surface
contaminant is significantly reduced
1/2
