40. HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 40 Risk vs. Benefit Benefits  Save Lives  Reduce damage to property  Protect the environment Risks  Injury or Death

41. HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 41 Risk vs. Benefit (cont.) Protecting Lives  Yourself  Fellow Responders  The General Public  The Victim

42. HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 42 Risk vs. Benefit (cont.) Protecting Property Protecting the Environment

43. HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 43 Exercise 1 Basic Hazard and Risk Assessment

44. HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 44 Hazard & Risk Assessment

45. HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 45 Slide one Risk = Low  Victim is alive with no protective equipment.  What PPE can we wear  Little if any Contamination Benefit = High  Victim will live with assistance

46. HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 46 Hazard & Risk Assessment

47. HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 47 Slide two Risk = Moderate  Victim may still be alive.  What type of PPE can we wear  Little if any Contamination  No evidence of the problem being chemical Benefit = Moderate  Victim, if alive, will probably continue to live.

48. HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 48 Hazard & Risk Assessment

49. HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 49 Slide three Risk = High  Victim probably is not alive.  Will your PPE protect you?  We will get contaminated Benefit = Moderate  Victim even if alive may not continue to live

50. HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 50 Hazard & Risk Assessment

51. HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 51 Slide four Risk = High  We do not even know if there is a victim.  Heavy Contamination is probable Benefit = Low  If we can not survive without an SCBA, how can the victim?

52. HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 52 Summary Information is needed about the:  Container  Product  Environment

53. HazMat Operations Unit 1 slide 53 Summary (cont.) First responders must conduct a “risk vs. benefit” analysis to help make decisions about the defensive actions they can take to save lives, protect property and the environment.
