Personal Protective Equipment

(PPE)


2/44

Personal Protective Equipment Provide a barrier between you and the

chemical

Chemical Protective Equipment (CPE)

Level A - vapor w/SCBA (encapsulating suits)

Level B - splash w/SCBA (cover skin)

Level C - splash w/APR (MMRS Program)

Level D - normal work clothes


3/44

Supplied Air SystemsSelf Contained Breathing Apparatus


4/44

Positive Pressure Self ContainedBreathing Apparatus

Advantages:

Provides highest level of protection against

airborne contaminates and oxygen deficiency

Limitations: Bulky and heavy

Limited air supply limits work duration

May impair movement in confined spacesUnknown resistance to chemicals


5/44

Positive Pressure Supplied Air

Respirator

Connected to a manifold which is supplied by two or more tanks

Possibility of unlimited air supply

Less bulky with a longer work time

Protects against airborne contaminates to the same level as PP SCBA


6/44

Positive Pressure Supplied Air

Respirator

Air line impairs mobility and limited to 300 feet (OSHA/NIOSH)

Air line is vulnerable to damage, degradation, or mechanical

decontamination where decontamination might prove difficult.

Exit as you entered. Requires supervision / monitoring of air

supply and lines.

Not approved for IDLH atmospheres unless equipped with an

emergency egress unit such as an escape only SCBA with a

minimum of five minutes.


7/44

Air Purifying Respirators

Enhanced mobility, less physical stress, lighter weight

Negative pressure operationscan be full face or half face

Normally used in controlled, well characterized areas not for

emergency response

Cartridge respirators-Must select proper cartridge

Does not supply fresh air - oxygen levels must be greater than19.5%

9/44

Chemical Protective Clothing

Level A (Vapor Protection)Provides responder with highest level of protection

Level B (Splash Protection)

Provides the responder with the highest level ofrespiratory protection and protection against contact with

product from spills and splashes

Level C (Splash Protection)

Reduction in the respiratory protection but hazards shall

be well characterized (known and measured) to provide

use of APRs.


10/44

Level A CPE


11/44

Level B CPE


12/44

Level C CPE


13/44

Chemical Protective Clothing

Level D (normal workplace protections)

Used much more commonly in routine industrial operations.

No NFPA standard garment.

May include items such as:

Eye Protection

CoverallsBoots that are chemically resistant

Hard hat

Gloves


14/44

Stresses of Wearing CPCs

Heat related stresses:

Heat Cramps, Heat Exhaustion, Heat Stroke

Cold related stresses:

Frostbite, Hypothermia

Psychological stress:

Hazardous area, Body bag with Windows


15/44

Stresses of Wearing CPCsNFPA 471 (10.3) (2002 edition) exclusion criteria includes:

BP - diastolic pressure greater than 105 mm Hg

Pulse - greater than 70% of max (220-age)

Respirations - greater than 24

Tempgreater than 99.5 (oral) or 100.5 coreEKGdysrhythmia not previously detected

Mental Statusaltered, slurred speech clumsiness, weakness

Recent Medical History:

Presence of nausea vomiting, diarrhea, fever, URI, heatillness, or heavy alcohol within the past 72 hours.

Any alcohol within the past 6 hours

New medications within the past 72 hours.

Pregnancy


16/44

Chemical Resistance/Compatibility

Three principle manners by which chemical

protective clothing materials can be compromised:

1. Penetration

2. Degradation

3. Permeation

20/44

Bio Isolation PPEs

Cover all skin

Use with respirator

and eye protection Should be rated for

biological (blood-

borne pathogen)

protection by

manufacture


21/44

Problems in the Agricultural

Setting Improper Use

Using inappropriate concentration (more is better)

Mixing compounds together Improper Storage

Next flammables

No ventilation

Stored next to incompatibles

Compressed Gasses indoors


22/44


Setting Limited or no PPEs

Eye & Face Protection

ApronGloves

Respiratory Protection

Poor or no Signage/MarkingsHazard areas

Safe areas


23/44


Setting Limited or no Training

PPEs

Proper use

HAZCOM standard (29 CFR 1910.120)

No MSDS

Dont know standard

No Emergency or Spill Plan Poor Housekeeping

Safety equipment not maintained


24/44


Setting Usually a failure of multiple safety

processes

Complacency

Performance before safety

Profit before safety (safety to expensive)


25/44

Example of Spill Procedures

When Spill Occurs Stop operations and equipment

Isolate or evacuate area affected

Emergency Notification

If trained, contain and control spill

Provide first aid and assistance to injured

Clean up, decontamination

28/44

What is an emergency?

An Event that is--

Unplanned

Uncontrolled

Chaotic

Life, Property or Environmental Threat

Requires a rapid response to bring the eventunder control


29/44

What is an emergency response?

Rapid or timely mitigation of events

Best use of resources

Trained personnel

Favorably changes the outcome


30/44

Planned Response

Control

Isolation and Quarantine

Notification

Local, Law Enforcement, National and

International Aid

Have a written plan

Test and Periodically Practice


31/44

Incident Command System

Management System

Whos in charge? Whats our goals?

Whats my tasks?

Where do I fit in the organization?

Whom do I report?


32/44

Incident Management

Places one person in charge

Clarifies objectives

Guides deployment of personnel &resources

Organizes personnel & tasks so that IC isnot overwhelmed

Eases communications & identifies chain ofcommand


33/44

Incident Management

Limits high risk activities & establishes

resources to provide immediate assistance

Allows for growth and reduction oforganizational structure

For some emergencies, it is a requirement

of law, 29 & 40 CFR

Used by the Federal Government (NIMS)


34/44

Management Concepts

Division of Labor

Work is assigned based on functions, equipment

available and training/capabilities of personnel

Qualified individuals are assigned the proper tasks Lines of Authority

Personnel and functional groups know their roles within

the organization and their relationship with other

personnel participating in the emergency


35/44

Management Concepts

Delegation

Higher level of authority gives personnel or

unit an assignment or tasksAuthority is delegated but responsibility is still

with the IC

Unity of Command

One immediate supervisor

Prevents multiple and conflicting directives


36/44

Management Concepts

Span of Control

Number of personnel or units supervised at onetime

Emergency operations, 4-7 personnel or units

Factors include, degree of difficulty, level ofdanger, amount of authority given

Line Functions - functions directly associated withactual implementation of tasks

Staff Functions - functions associated with thesupport of incident operations or IC


37/44

Features of ICS

Common Terminology

uses common language clear text

pre-designated language from standard operating

procedures

Integrated Communications

Common communications plan trunking system

Modular Organization

Organizational structure develops as-needed

Increases and reduces in size as needed


38/44

Features of ICS Comprehensive Resource Management

Knows the status of available units

Analyses incident requirements and deploys available

resources in a well-coordinated effort Tools in a tool box, only take out the tools you need

to get the job done - need to know what tools are

needed and when to use them, in correct combination

Single Command Structure (single jurisdiction) Unified Command Structure (multi-jurisdiction or

responsibility)


39/44

Features of ICS

Consolidated Action Plans - Unified Command

A single plan of objectives

Efforts undertaken are conducted in a coordinated manner Prevents duplication of tasks and contradictory work

assignments

Designated Incident Facilities

Command Post, Staging Area, Rehab Area

Transfer of Command

Proper procedures to transfer to higher authority
