Introduction
 In 1971, A Railroad Derailment In The Houston, TX
Metropolitan Area Caused A Breach In A Pressure
Tank Car Transporting Propane, Which
Subsequently Ignited
 The Propane Fire Then Impinged Upon An
Adjoining Tank Car Of Vinyl Chloride. After
Approximately 45 Minutes Of Exposure To Fire, The
Vinyl Chloride Tank Car Violently Ruptured
 As A Result, A Fire Department Photographer Was
Killed And A Number Of Emergency Response
Personnel And Civilians Were Injured

Introduction
 The National Transportation Safety Board
(NTSB) Conducted An Investigation And
Concluded That The Following Factors
Contributed To The Severity Of The
Accident:
 The Lack Of Adequate Training, Information,
And Documented Procedures For On-scene
Identification
 The Lack Of Adequate Assessment Of Threats
To Safety
 Reliance On Firefighting Recommendations
That Did Not Take Into Consideration The Full
Range Of Hazards

Basic Principles
 Historically, There Have Been Numerous Public
And Private Sector Studies That Have Evaluated
Hazmat Incidents
 Although The Specific Numbers May Vary, These Studies
Clearly Show Some Specific Trends And Patterns,
Including:
 Approximately 75% Of Releases Occur In Facilities That
Produce, Store, Manufacture, Or Use Chemicals; The
Remaining 25% Occurred During Transportation.

Basic Principles
 Approximately 50% Of All Hazmat Emergencies Involve
Flammable And Combustible Liquids.
 The Next Most Common Hazard Class Is Corrosive
Materials, Specifically Materials Such As Sulfuric Acid And
Sodium Hydroxide.
 The Top Hazardous Materials Transported By Rail Include
Trailers On Flat Cars (TOFC) And Containers On Flat Cars
(COFC), LPG, Sodium Hydroxide, Sulfuric Acid,
Anhydrous Ammonia, Chlorine, Gasoline And Blended
Motor Fuels.
 This Background Information Is No Substitute For
Conducting A Hazard Analysis And Developing An
Emergency Response Plan For Your Plant Or Community.

Basic Principles
 Surveying The Incident
 The Identification Process Starts With A Survey Of The
Incident Site And Surrounding Conditions.
 The Identification Process Is Built Upon The Following
Basic Elements:
Recognition — recognize The Presence Of Hazardous
Materials.
Identification — identify The Hazardous Materials Involved
And The Nature Of The Problem.
Classification — determine The General Hazard Class Or
Chemical Family Of The Hazardous Materials Involved.

Basic Principles
 When Dealing With Unknown Substances, Responders
Should Rely Upon Monitoring Instruments And Chemical
Analytical Kits Which Use A Systematic Process To
Determine The Unknown’s Identity And Hazards.
 In Recent Years There Has Been Increasing Emphasis
On The Potential Use Of Hazardous Materials And
Weapons Of Mass Destruction (WMD) In Terrorism Or
Criminal Events.
 These Scenarios Bring A Number Of New Issues,
Including The Use Of Weapons And Armed Assaults,
Secondary Devices, And Booby Traps.

 Emergency Responders Rely Upon Seven Basic
Clues As Part Of Their Identification Process. Look
For Hazmats In Every Incident; Then Identify Or At
Least Classify The Material. The Seven Clues Are:
 Occupancy And Location
 Container Shapes
 Markings And Colors
 Placards And Labels
 Shipping Papers And Facility Documents
 Monitoring And Detection Equipment

Radioactive Material Packaging
 Federal Regulations Place Strict Controls On The
Transportation Of Radioactive Materials. The
Transport Of Radioactive Materials Is Based Upon
The Philosophy That:
 Safety Should Be Primarily Focused On The Package
(I.E., Packaging Is The First Line Of Defense)
 Package Integrity Should Be Directly Related To The
Degree Of Hazard Of The Material It Contains.

 Type A Packaging – Used To Transport Small Quantities
Of Radioactive Material With Higher Concentrations Of
Radioactivity Than Those Shipped In Industrial Packaging.
 Type B Packaging – Used To Transport Radioactive
Material With The Highest Levels Of Radioactivity,
Including Potentially Life-endangering Amounts That Could
Pose A Significant Risk If Released During An Accident.

Facility Markings
 Other Marking Systems
 Color codes are also used at bulk LPG
facilities. Liquid product lines will often be
color-coded either dark blue or orange
while vapor lines are light blue or yellow.
 The OSHA Hazard Communication
Standard and many state and local RightTo-Know regulations require the marking of
hazardous materials storage vessels,
piping, and process units within industry.

Placards And Labels
 DOT Hazardous Materials Regulations outline the
hazmat placarding and labeling requirements within
the United States
 This is a basic First Responder Awareness and
Operations level competency, and should be wellunderstood by this point in your hazmat response
career
 The “backbone” of DOT’s hazmat regulations is the
Hazardous Materials Table or HMT (49 CFR
172.101)

Placards And Labels
 Placards and labels provide recognition and general
hazard classification by way of:
 Colored background.
 Respective hazard class symbol.
 Hazard class / division number (found at the bottom of the
placard or label).
 Hazard class description wording or the four-digit identification
number (found in the center of the placard).

Placards And Labels
 Labels are approximately 4-inch
(100 mm) square markings
applied to individual hazardous
materials packages.
 Placards are approximately
10.75 inch (273 mm) square
markings applied to both ends
and each side of freight
containers, cargo tanks, and

Monitoring And Detection Equipment
 Although Considered Here As An Identification Tool,
Monitoring And Detection Equipment Are Also
Critical Tools For Evaluating “Real-time” Data And
Developing A “Risk Based” Response. Monitoring
Helps Responders To:
 Determine The Appropriate Levels Of Personal Protective
Clothing And Equipment.
 Determine The Size And Location Of Hazard Control
Zones.
 Develop Protective Action Recommendations And
Corridors.
 Assess The Potential Health Effects Of Exposure.

Senses
 Sometimes Clues Are Not As Obvious As A Building
Occupancy, Container Shapes Or Markings, And Your
Senses Must Come Into Play. Senses Are Not A
Primary Identification Tool, And Are The Final Clue In
The Standard Identification Process.
 Nonetheless, Senses Can Be Valuable Assets And
Can Offer Immediate Clues To The Presence Of
Hazardous Materials.
 The Inhalation (Or Smelling) Of Chemicals Should
Always Be Avoided, But There Are Times When You
May Enter A Situation And An Odor Will Be Present.
