Can someone please help me to understand how a "backup" team is not a "RIT/RIC"? According to A.3.3.7 of NFPA 470, the backup team has to be in the same PPE, be in close proximity and "possess any equipment necessary to support safe and effective removal operations for a member in PPE/CPC [rescue dragging device, explosion-proof (XP) hand lights, spare SCBA cylinder with buddy hose, suit cutter, etc.]."

If the backup team has all the equipment to rescue the entry team, is dressed, and has all the equipment, why are they not the RIT team? If they are not the RIT, why possess all the rescue equipment?

It would take an enormous amount of resources to make a single entry on even a simple incident. However, I wouldn't think a backup team would need to be "ready to go" as quickly as a RIT team. Most of the time, if a backup team has to go to work, an exchange of information is necessary before they go in, e.g., what the initial team did and what work still needs to be done etc. And I can't imagine ever having the team just stand around breathing air but not in the "hot zone." It would unnecessarily expose additional members and waste air. Just doesn't make sense to me.

Here is the excerpt from NFPA 470 (2022 ed)

A.3.3.7 Backup Team.

The size of a backup team can be increased based on the number of members in the entry team or if the risk assessment indicates the need for additional technicians. The backup team should wear the same class PPE/CPC as the entry team unless approved by the Incident Commander based on a risk assessment for the specific hazard and documented in the incident action plan. Structural firefighter protective clothing, NFPA 1994 Class 5 gear, NFPA 2112, or other ensembles not designed for chemical protection should only be used for flammable environments where the chemical is not toxic via skin exposure (see NFPA 1891 for specific guidance on selection of protective ensembles for Hazmat/CBRN environments). The protective ensembles meet the requirements of NFPA 1994, incorporated in the 2022 edition of NFPA 1990.

Based on the hazard-specific risk assessment the backup team might need to be on air and in close proximity to the entry team, but not within the hazardous area of the hot zone, whenever the backup team is physically a long distance from where the entry team is working, or the entry team will be operating in a large building, or the entry team will be operating above grade or below grade. The backup team should commence entry toward the stricken entry team member within one minute of an entry team member declaring a mayday. When the backup team needs to be deployed further toward the hot zone, a second backup team should be ready to go 90 percent dressed.

The backup team could be used to assist the entry team if help is needed assisting with equipment requests or more hands on task like working on top of a rail car. If a backup team goes in to assist the entry team another backup team is put in place. If the entry team mission cannot be completed by the initial entry team the backup team can become the next entry team after a briefing where mission tasks are identified, and another backup team is in place. The backup team should possess any equipment necessary to support safe and effective removal operations for a member in PPE/CPC [rescue dragging device, explosion-proof (XP) hand lights, spare SCBA cylinder with buddy hose, suit cutter, etc.]. The backup team is not a rapid intervention team (RIT) or rapid intervention crew (RIC).

Refer to NFPA 1006, 1407, 1410, 1500, 1521, 1710, and 1720 for additional information on the definitions of RIT and RIC.

Anyone here ever work for or with HMR Hazmat Response?

Considering working for them. I'm okay with corpse clean up, spill clean up, rescue, emergency response, and sanitation.

What I don't want to do is get hired out to a construction site or factory and help them assemble equipment, or just ride along somewhere just to drop off a load of ammonia etc etc

I’m considering radioactive iodine treatment for my cat’s hyperthyroidism.

Does anyone have any experience with it? How did you handle the waste, quarantining, etc.?

I understand masking does not stop radioactive gases or vapors. I’m trying to reduce how much radioactive particulate I am inhaling.

TL;DR

I’ve been reviewing material online regarding how to handle it. I have concepts of a plan but also concerns:

Concerns:

• I have a one-year-old kid. Just worried about his exposure. My living room and basement are separated by a door with a one-inch gap between the bottom of the door and the floor. Not large enough for the cat or him to get through. But not a very good barrier.

• The cat likes to get out and run. Despite dying from hyperthyroidism, she’s still fearless and fast.

• If I’m to flush the waste down the toilet, how do I clean it up if I spill it?

• How do I decontaminate the bathroom and toilet after flushing the waste down?

Plan:

1. Quarantine the cat in the basement.

2. Use flushable cat litter.

3. Don N95 before going in the basement.

4. Put on gloves before going in the basement.

5. Wear crocs with socks dedicated only for the basement.

6. Put crocs on and take them off on top of the steps of the basement.

7. Clean the litter box in the morning.

8. Take off clothes after cleaning the litter box and keep them separate from other laundry to wash later.

9. Wash hands.

10. Take shower.

11. Scoop litter each day into a sealed bucket.

12. Flush waste down the toilet every couple of days to limit the possibility of a contamination event. If I’m doing this for two weeks, I think it’s best not to be walking around my house with radioactive cat shit daily.

13. Feed the cat on disposable plates; water goes in disposable bowls.

———

As an aside, I know there is medication for treating hyperthyroidism in cats. It seems to be pretty serious stuff. I ordered the liquid version, received it this afternoon and began reading the instructions tonight.

There’s a risk of adverse exposure to the medication for the person cleaning the litter box. We have other cats, and I don’t understand how there isn’t a potential risk to other cats who share the litter with a cat being treated with this medication (methimazole).

I also read the warnings regarding handling the medicine. We can’t use the same bowls or plates as the cat and must thoroughly wash our hands. We would have to clean all of our dishes separately I guess and do some sort of cleaning of the sink after each feeding.

It’s also expensive. My cat hates being pilled, so we went with a liquid which goes on her food. There’s also a topical treatment. I’m sure she wouldn’t be happy with getting some goop smushed into her ear every day. And the contamination issue is present with this method as well.

I've been seriously considering becoming a hazmat technician in my area. Do most companies hire and train you or would I have to take a course/go to school on my own time first? Thanks!

I’m in need of my hazmat endorsement, I’ve been told this is possible with class C licenses. What paperwork might I need when I visit the DMV (CA)?

Hiya ladies and gents,

I’ve searched all over the CFR 49 and similar pubs and databases trying to find the answer to this question. I’m hoping a HAZMAT guru can help educate me.

I fairly routinely have to transport very large quantities (≈100) of K bottles of oxygen via land, sea, and air. These bottles almost always come to me packaged 16 to a wooden pallet, stacked in tiers of 4 bottles, each tier resting on scalloped 4”x4” wooden dunnage, and all of it banded to the pallet with steel straps.

My question is how high can I stack these tiers of K bottles? Assuming I don’t approach or exceed the weight limits of the pallets, can I stack the bottles 5 or 6 tiers high? I ask because storage space is often at a premium, so if I can safely and legally store/transport 96 bottles across 4 pallet positions instead of 6 I would like to.

Much thanks in advance.

We’ve had this spill “dried” onto the floor of our fire station for a few weeks now. It’s “Maintex Lime Go” and the label says it’s got phosphoric acid in it.

Anybody have an idea how to clean it? Not overly worried about hazards or anything we’re just trying to clean it.

I just wanna let everyone know that if you were ever involuntarily committed into a mental institution, you can get your Hazmat… I just got mine today… long story short nearly 10 years ago I tried marijuana and it was laced I was hallucinating and I was in the mental hospital for one week… I was very worried I was not gonna be able to pursue my trucking career to it’s fullest potential and would be denied my hazardous materials endorsement… the best jobs I could find without Hazmat was around 90,000 a year doing lots of physical labor local and horrible over the road jobs… around $80,000-90,000 a year 65+ hours a week never home… whereas I have had buddies that had their hazardous materials endorsement working local jobs with decent schedules who were hauling jet fuel, and petroleum making well over $180,000 a year with little to no labor whatsoever… well I finally went for it and I did say yes I have been involuntarily committed into a mental institution on the application and I did indeed manage to pass the background check and got approved to haul hazardous materials this was such such a huge relief off my chest I was working at McLane’s doing crazy unbelievable shifts 20+ hours having a ridiculously hard time sleeping with the trucks moving unloading the whole thing by hand making 1500 a week if I’m lucky and I’m like it would really be nice if I could get a much easier job making more than double the money… turns out apparently they usually don’t deny you for a very temporary holdings in a mental health facility. They usually deny you if you were involuntarily committed on grounds of committing a serious crime and pleading, not guilty by reason of insanity. Those are usually the kind of situations you may be denied for mental health but as long as your record is clean, and you’re not currently on any strong antipsychotic medication‘s or have a history of it, you do have a good chance and I want to let you know to go for it! I’m putting this out there because I wish there was information like this online when I was trying to figure this out I’ve done a lot of stressing over this and I wish I would’ve known what I know now sooner

I keep coming across the CHMM certification but it's always in Industrial Hygeine and Safety groups. Do many emergency responders have the CHMM designation? In their list of qualifying experience it mentions planning for and responding to hazmat emergencies. I'm thinking that's mostly on the contractor side and not firefighters?

I'm trying to evaluate if it's worth pursuing. I'm an industrial firefighter where 99% of our focus is hazmat and I meet the requirements for it. But if I'm just uselessly padding my resume with safety and heygeine designation I'm not sure if it's worth it in my position.

I wasn’t thinking this through but I washed off a bunch of stain sealer out of a container and into the ground (side yard). Should I be concerned about this getting into the well / ground water?

HELL YEAH!!!

Hi everyone, I'm looking to get some rough estimates for the removal of vermiculite and vinyl flooring in my mother's home on Vancouver Island. The house is approximately 880 sq ft with vermiculite insulation and 475 sq ft of vinyl tile. My mother is immunocompromised and in the early stages of dementia. Having multiple contractors come in for inspections could be overwhelming and distressing for her. To minimize this, I'd like to get an idea of potential costs beforehand so we can narrow down our options and limit the number of visits.

If anyone has had similar flooring removed and vermiculite in the past, particularly on Vancouver Island, I would be incredibly grateful if you could share what you paid or any pricing estimates you received. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Has anyone on here taken the level s test. After taking the level 3, I’m slightly nervous as the questions were beyond tricky, so much so they’ve started providing an additional prep course at alot of training facilities based on the number of people (who have been in the industry prior to the new regulated courses and with years of experience) who failed the exam. In my community I heard owners of environmental firms have failed the level s.

Is this everyone’s experience? I’ve studied. I’ve taken the courses but it’s nerve wracking to think I could fail based on how questions are asked.
