Such incidents place significant demands on local fire and rescue services and often require resources and support from other fire and rescue services and emergency responders. However smaller scale incidents involving hazardous materials are more prevalent and these may require a response from any fire and rescue service in England. The Fire and Rescue Service Operational Guidance – Incidents involving hazardous materials provides robust yet flexible guidance that can be adapted to the nature, scale and requirements of the incident. The Chief Fire and Rescue Adviser is grateful for the assistance in the development in this guidance from a wide range of sources, including the fire and rescue service and a range of experts from a wide range of industries and other organisations. It is anticipated that this guidance will promote common principles, practices and procedures that will support the fire and rescue service to resolve incidents involving hazardous materials safely and efficiently. Foreword 5 23162 00_Section 1-7A.indd 5 12/11/2012 13:17 SECTION 2 Preface The objective of the Fire and Rescue Service Operational Guidance – Incidents involving hazardous materials is to provide a consistency of approach that forms the basis for common operational practices, supporting interoperability between fire and rescue services, other emergency responders, industry experts and other relevant groups. These common principles, practices and procedures are intended to support the development of safe systems of work on the incident ground and to enhance national resilience. Operational Guidance issued by the Department of Communities and Local Government promotes and develops good practice within the Fire and Rescue Service and is offered as a current industry standard. It is envisaged that this will help establish high standards of efficiency and safety in the interests of employers, employees and the general public. The Guidance, which is compiled using the best sources of information known at the date of issue, is intended for use by competent persons. The application of the guidance does not remove the need for appropriate technical and managerial judgement in practical situations with due regard to local circumstances, nor does it confer any immunity or exemption from relevant legal requirements, including by-laws.Those investigating compliance with the law may refer to this guidance as illustrating an industry standard. It is a matter for each individual fire and rescue service whether to adopt and follow this Operational Guidance. The onus of responsibility for application of guidance lies with the user. Department of Communities and Local Government accept no legal liability or responsibility whatsoever, howsoever arising, for the consequences of the use or misuse of the guidance. 6 Fire and Rescue Service Operational Guidance – Incidents involving hazardous materials 23162 00_Section 1-7A.indd 6 12/11/2012 13:17 Introduction SECTION 3 Introduction 7 23162 00_Section 1-7A.indd 7 12/11/2012 13:17 Purpose 3.1 This operational guidance is set out in the form of a procedural and technical framework. Fire and Rescue Services should consider it when developing or reviewing their policy and procedures to safely and efficiently resolve emergency incidents involving hazardous materials, including CBRN(E) materials.1 3.2 In everyday language the term hazardous materials, also referred to as dangerous/hazardous substances or goods, means solids, liquids, or gases that can harm people, other living organisms, property, or the environment. They not only include materials that are toxic, radioactive, flammable, explosive, corrosive, oxidizers, asphyxiates, biohazards, pathogen or allergen substances and organisms, but also materials with physical conditions or other characteristics that render them hazardous in specific circumstances, such as compressed gases and liquids, or hot/cold materials. 3.3 Non-Fire and Rescue Service organisations and agencies may use more technical and specific definitions because of their own requirements but the above definition is the most appropriate one for Fire and Rescue Services to base their risk assessments and planning assumptions on. 3.4 A Fire and Rescue Service may respond to a wide range of incidents involving hazardous materials that have the potential to cause harm to firefighters, the community and the environment. They may be called to deal specifically with emergency spillages or releases, or they may encounter hazardous materials at fires and other emergency incidents. The purpose of this guidance is to assist emergency responders to make safe, risk assessed, efficient and proportionate responses whenever hazardous materials are encountered in the operational arena. Scope 3.5 The scope of this guidance is wide ranging due to the extensive nature of hazardous materials incidents encountered by the Fire and Rescue Service. It is applicable to any event, regardless of scale, from small incidents, such as the careless use of domestic cleaning products, to large scale chemical spillages on the highway and industrial accidents. 3.6 It is focused on the tactical and technical aspects of hazardous materials incidents to assist Fire and Rescue Services with: • the development and implementation of safe systems of work • inter-operability at large or cross-border incidents where more than one Fire and Rescue Service is in attendance. 1 CBRN(E) materials terrorism entails the assumption or knowledge, based on intelligence or actual evidence, of actual or threatened dispersal of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear material (either on their own or in combination with each other or with explosives), with deliberate criminal, malicious or murderous intent, targeted at a given population or economic/symbolic points. Introduction 9 23162 00_Section 1-7A.indd 9 12/11/2012 13:17 3.7 The guidance covers the time period from the receipt of the emergency call to the closure of the incident by the Fire and Rescue Service Incident Commander. ‘Closure’ in terms of Fire and Rescue Service involvement may mean the handing over of responsibility to another agency or ‘responsible person’. 3.8 In addition to detailed tactical and technical information, this guidance also outlines the key operational and strategic roles, responsibilities and considerations

  • Chapter 4: HAZARD COMMUNICATION
    Chapter 4: HAZARD COMMUNICATION The text of this chapter represents the agreement reached on a harmonised hazard communication system as part of the work on the GHS, with minor editorial changes. Additional explanatory text has been added in some sections in order to provide guidance for the reader on how to interpret the GHS agreed text. Where this is the case, the text is italicised and placed in a box to differentiate it from the agreed GHS text. OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE 1. One of the objective of the work on the GHS has been the development of a harmonised hazard communication system including labelling, safety data sheets and easily understandable symbols, based on the classification criteria developed by the focal points within the IOMC Co-ordinating Group for the Harmonisation of Chemical Classifications Systems, CG/HCCS. This work has been carried out under the auspices of the ILO, by the ILO Working Group on Hazard Communication. The specific Terms of Reference and Membership of the Working Group are provided in Annex 1. In addition the principles contained in the IOMC CG/HCCS Terms of Reference and the document “Description and Further Clarification of the Anticipated Application of the GHS (also referred to as “The Scope Document”) also applied to the work on harmonisation of hazard communication (see Chapter 2). Application of the Harmonised Hazard Communication System 2.The harmonised system for hazard communication includes the appropriate labelling tools to convey information about each of the hazard classes and categories in the GHS. The use of symbols, signal words or hazard statements other than those which have been assigned to each of the GHS hazard classes and categories would be contrary to harmonisation.

Toxic & Infectious Substances 7. Radioactive Material 8. Corrosives 9. Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods CLASS 1: EXPLOSIVES Explosives are materials or items which have the ability to rapidly conflagrate or detonate as a consequence of chemical reaction. Subclass Subclass 1.1: Explosives with a mass explosion hazard Consists of explosives that have a mass explosion hazard. A mass explosion is one which affects almost the entire load instantaneously. Subclass 1.2: Explosives with a severe projection hazard Consists of explosives that have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard. Subclass 1.3: Explosives with a fire Consists of explosives that have a fire hazard and either a minor blast hazard or a minor projection hazard or both but not a mass explosion hazard. Subclass 1.4: Minor fire or projection hazard Consists of explosives that present a minor explosion hazard. The explosive effects are largely confined to the package and no projection of fragments of appreciable size or range is to be expected. An external fire must not cause virtually instantaneous explosion of almost the entire contents of the package. Subclass 1.5: An insensitive substance with a mass explosion hazard Consists of very insensitive explosives with a mass explosion hazard (explosion similar to 1.1). This division is comprised of substances which have a mass explosion hazard but are so insensitive that there is very little probability of initiation or of transition from burning to detonation under normal conditions of transport.
