| State how emergencies should be responded to in accordance with organisational authorisation and personal skills when involved with fires, spillages, injuries and other task-related hazards.

*take precautions against the risks caused by flammable or explosive hazards, electrical equipment, noise and radiation

Whenever disaster or mass casualty happen their will injuries and life lost. In order to care for these individual we must separate them by category for the least serious to the most critical ones. To care for the individual certain areas are set up into three four different stage s. The first stage consist of the Hot Zone is the most contaminated area, typically requiring that responders wear some level of personal protective equipment. Another zone is the warm area where most of your decontamination work takes place.

Local protective measure planning equips first responders with the knowledge needed to organize efficient response results in the event of an emergency. Structured open dialogue between local emergency jurisdictions enables responders to delegate the appropriate individuals and equipment resources to the impacted local areas requiring the most aid following a terror event. By establishing a streamlined communication framework, local emergency responders can collaborate their efforts and resources to promote collective well-being. When a local emergency plan specifies what responders and resources belong where and at what time, response overlap and shortages can be avoided. Unionized response action established prior to a terrorist incident, serves to mitigate the risks, hazards and threat of injury or harm the people and property of the US face when a terrorism event occurs. Furthermore, a structured local emergency operations plan for a hazardous materials incident involving a terrorist is imperative to public health and safety, as the blueprint outlines protective measures the public can follow to minimize their exposure to dangerous substances. The people of a community affected by a terror event can be warned and notified of the event’s associated dangerous materials, which threaten their well-being, through a variety of methods such as warning sirens or horns, emergency alert systems, automated

HSE states that “employers, duty holders and others who have responsibility for the control of work-places, sites and premises”. Have a responsibility to apply safety signage where and when required. Safety signs and signals are required where, despite putting in place all other relevant measures, a significant risk to the health and safety of employees and others remains. Signs must be clear and legible, and should be used to identify actions that are prohibited (eg no access), safeguards that must be followed (eg ear protection must be worn), warning of a hazard (eg corrosive material) and to direct towards fire exits/equipment or first-aid equipment. What responsible personnel should do to comply with the Health and Safety (Safety

Establishing evacuation points/routes and locations for personnel to seek shelter-in-place is vital to diminish or eliminate the number of casualties at the scene. An emergency response plan is a key element in the chemical sector and they are often required as a part of the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS), the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA), the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Risk Management Program (RMP), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and OSHA regulations (Department of Homeland Security, 2010). Along with having a thought out emergency response plan, chemical sectors utilize various methodologies to aid chemical sectors to better prepare and manage a chemical attack or incident. Some of the widely used methodologies include (Department of Homeland Security,

Responses to such activities include: first aid, reporting illness or injury, near misses and dangerous occurrence, and debrief for leasons learned, what could be improved, and how the hazard could be prevented. Step 2, Collating information about the hazardous issue: I will need foremost information to

Today’s society has seen an increase of unpredictable violent events that require an increasing need for tactical medical responders. While some if not all departments in the United States have a form of Tactical Emergency Medical Support, in the present time it almost seems as if there is a growing need for awareness, education, and personnel to have a tactical mindset. Tactical Emergency Medical Support is an out-of-hospital EMS system that focuses on medical support for law enforcement special operations missions. Although most emergency situations involve routine-like situations such as a mild allergic reaction or a person going in to cardiac arrest, Emergency Medical Responders need to be prepared for the unexpected. Multiple

In order to mitigate such risk, it is critical for emergency services personnel to be trained at all levels. Ensuring the implementation of hazardous materials training (HAZMAT), resourcing the proper detection devices, and most of all, training emergency personnel to both understand and identify all known indicators. Terrorist incidents involving chemical agents are so dangerous in the fact

The command sponsors an Employee/Soldier safety brief checklist for new employees and new assigned Soldiers to the command. The checklist identifies the following elements, POV Safety Requirements, Accidents and Emergencies, Job Hazards, Safety Information, HazCom/HazMat, Army Motor Vehicle Safety, and Motor Maintenance Safety Briefing. This is an effective AdHoc program for the commands safety and health management program which provides focus areas each Employees/Soldiers must be aware. It identifies Employees/Soldier on their knowledge and ability to perform certain actions if appointed and it provides expectations in case of an emergency or mishap in all work areas. Moreover, it provides management and leaders as to the capabilities

First responder safety is imperative while working on the scene of a terrorist event. It is the responsibility of their employers to ensure that they have the protection and equipment needed to get them through their shifts safely. Some of this can be accomplished by being prepared for a terrorist attack to occur. Several ways to be prepared in advance are to have proper Personal Protective Equipment, any special equipment deemed necessary by the responders and the training on the equipment.

Containing the damage and minimizing the risk is critical to an incident. Rapid containment will result in minimizing damage and cost. Actions

Cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) in firefighting are an issue of concern. To avoid the risk of this condition, the company will pay attention to the posture of its workers while approaching fire situations. In this case, the company will articulate that one should use a fire extinguisher while leaning and walking backward as they evacuate the area. The company will provide fire resistant materials at the exit terminals and established permanent routes.

In this paper, I am going to describe each specialized personnel that will be needed at the scene of a crime or mass disaster. I will inform you of what duties each of these specialized individuals will possess. You will be able to know and understand each of these responsibilities.
