© NSTC all rights reserved HAZWOPER NSTC-08 2 Introduction
3
© NSTC all rights reserved HAZWOPER NSTC-08 3 Goal To ensure participants can demonstrate the proper response to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances.
4
© NSTC all rights reserved HAZWOPER NSTC-08 4 Objectives Participants will be able to: Recognize hazardous substances and the associated risks. Explain the HAZWOPER First Responder Awareness responsibilities and limitations. Describe special hazards with DOT- regulated pipelines and the appropriate response to unusual activities in a pipeline right-of-way.

11
© NSTC all rights reserved HAZWOPER NSTC-08 11 Using the ERG Look up the 4-digit ID number 1219. What is this product and its guide number? What are its potential hazards? Look up diesel fuel in the ERG and find its 3- digit guide number and 4-digit identification number. What are its potential hazards? Look up ID number 1940. What is this product’s guide number and potential hazards?
12
© NSTC all rights reserved HAZWOPER NSTC-08 12 Clues Exercise Scenario: You have driven to Pad 15 where you notice colorless liquid leaking from a mobile tanker with this placard. The liquid has pooled up and is beginning to leak off the pad onto the tundra. There is a worker lying on the ground near the spill. No other workers are in the area. Question: What clues in this scenario will help you identify the hazard?
13
© NSTC all rights reserved HAZWOPER NSTC-08 13 Clues for Recognizing Hazardous Materials Dead animals or discolored plants Person down Unknown spill in area where hazardous materials are used or stored Numbers, symbols & color on container labels and placards Information from workers involved in or near the release Other clues might include a hissing or roaring sound or an unusual odor
14
© NSTC all rights reserved HAZWOPER NSTC-08 14 ERG Exercise Read the situation described in the ERG Exercise Handout and answer the questions by circling the correct answer. When everyone has completed the exercise, discuss the correct answers.

22
© NSTC all rights reserved HAZWOPER NSTC-08 Potential Hazards Breathing hazards Fire or explosion Damage to the environment Injury to plants and animals 22
23
© NSTC all rights reserved HAZWOPER NSTC-08 How to Recognize a Leak By Sight Product on ground near pipeline Dense white cloud or fog over a pipeline Discolored vegetation By Sound Hissing or roaring or other unusual sound By Smell Unusual odor such as pungent hydrocarbon 23
24
© NSTC all rights reserved HAZWOPER NSTC-08 If You Suspect or Discover a Leak Don’t touch, breathe, or make contact with leaking liquids. Don’t do anything that may create a spark such as use a cell phone. Turn off motors or ignition sources. Immediately leave area in an upwind direction. Warn others! From a safe location, call to report the leak. 24

© NSTC all rights reserved HAZWOPER NSTC-08 35 Pipeline Awareness Program Notifications US DOT-regulated pipelines are located within 50–150 ft. state- regulated rights-of-way (ROW).* Vehicle accidents require notification. Notification is required regardless of the individuals or operating area involved. Report any accidents or leaks. If a vehicle comes into contact with a pipeline, turn off the ignition. Do not move the vehicle or introduce any sources of ignition. The pipeline operators will take appropriate actions to protect the public and environment. * Work activities may require advance notification to facilitate coordination with agency officials.
