HazMat Specialist Westchester County Department of Emergency Services Hyde Park, New York, United States
We always try to plan our responses but often we forget about Mr. Murphy. Risk Management is more than just coming up with SOPs and SOGs. This guided discussion will look at various scenarios and real life incidents, where despite our best plans, we had to adapt for the safety of our responders while still meeting the needs of the IC. It will be a chance for participants from various backgrounds to discuss how they might attempt mitigation and to learn from each other.
Learning Objectives:
The participant shall evaluate and identify threats and risks present in a given scenario, in order to ensure safety of thier teammates.
Participants will learn how to effectively communicate with team members, other emergency responders, and relevant authorities, using standardized terminology and protocols to ensure clear and efficient coordination during the response.
The participant will enhance critical thinking skills to make quick, informed decisions under pressure, considering the potential consequences and alternative courses of action during hazardous materials incidents.
