Operational Level Lesson 2 Presentation
Hazardous Materials for First Responders, 3rd Ed.
Operational Level2–2
Approaching the Scene Safely
• Identify and evaluate problem locations and hazardous occupancies during emergency response planning.
• Include remote observation/assessment steps in the emergency plan.
• Always approach the scene from uphill, upwind, and upstream if at all possible. (1 of 2)
Operational Level2–3
Approaching the Scene Safely
• Use binoculars, a spotting scope, a camera lens, or a sight scope for observation.
• Report any unusual conditions to the telecommunications/dispatch center.
• Use the assessment location as a temporary staging area if reconnaissance teams must approach on foot. (2 of 2)
