Small spills and releases are common occurrences but responding to them can be confusing and challenging. How much material constitutes a small spill? Is the size of the spill really that important? The better the first arriving responder understands how to size-up small spills, the more prepared they will be to handle them. This workshop discusses response options to several types of common small spills with a focus on situational assessment, risk-based decision-making, and responder safety.
Learning Objectives:
Provide responders a simple tool/framework to use on small spills. This information can be taken back home and shared with your department.
Enhance responses to small spills of hazardous materials.
Stress situational assessment, risk assessment, and risk analysis as recommended by the IAFC Hazardous Materials Roundtable and many standard hazmat on-scene incident commander curriculum's.
