Technician/Instructor Somerset County Hazmat Team 600 Somerset, Pennsylvania, United States
The assessment of hazardous materials requires putting pieces of a puzzle together to classify or identify the material. Detection and monitoring devices along with the six (6) identification clues play an important role in this task. A systematic scene assessment with proper selection and uses of these devices is necessary for this process. This program will cover device selection and application, scene assessment tips, risk-based response philosophy, and a four-component process to complete the puzzle to classify or identify a material.
Learning Objectives:
The participates will be able to list and define the four components of people, detection/monitor response, source, and condition to assist with the classification and identification of hazardous materials.
The participates will be able to define monitoring/detection operating principles and their application to device selection, operation, and interpretation of response readings.
