29 CFR 1910.120, Hazardous Waste Operations & Emergency Response Solutions 29 CFR 1910.134, Respiratory Protection 29 CFR 1910.146, Permit-Required Confined Spaces 29 CFR 1910.147, The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tag Out) 29 CFR 1910.1030, Blood-Borne Pathogens 29 CFR 1910.1200, Hazard Communication 29 CFR 1910.1926, Excavations, Trenching Operations |
|
When should an ASO-RT be assigned at a tech-rescue incident?
|
When the ISO does not have technician-level training and/or certification.
|
|
For whom does the ASO-RT work at a tech-rescue incident?
|
The overhead ISO.
|
|
List the two rehab issues that require special attention at tech-rescue incidents.
|
Perceived comfort and energy replacement.
|
|
What is the benefit of using an on-deck system for crew rotation?
|
Eliminates issues surrounding perceived comfort and allows crews to practice a methodical system of engaging and disengaging.
|
|
6. A collapsed building made of cinder block walls and small timber beams should be classified as which type of collapse?
|
Moderate collapse.
|
|
List five hazards associated with industrial entrapments.
|
Hazards associated with industrial entrapments:
• Heavy machinery • Complicated access • Unsecured hazardous energy • Hazmat • Noise • Interfaced and/or automated systems • Security system impediment • Megasized equipment • Pinch hazards • Equipment congestion • Exotic materials • Material stockpiling |
|
What is LCES and how can it be used at a cave-in?
|
LCES = Lookouts, communications, escape routes, and safety zones. It provides a guideline for developing safety briefings and can remind the ISO and responders of essential safety elements
|
|
List six hazards associated with water rescues.
|
• Swift/hidden currents
• Low-head dams • Submerged entrapment hazards • Floating debris • Electrocution • Hypothermia • Reduced visibility (murky water and water/salt spray) • Fragile and/or shifting ice |
|
List five hazards associated with high-angle rescues.
|
• Limited access
• Dizzying heights • Limited escape routes • Slip/fall hazards • Lightning/wind • Limited anchor options • Electrocution • Heights beyond equipment capabilities • Use of helicopters • Equipment failure • Falling debris • Dropped equipment |
|
Name five circumstances in which a duty ISO should implement a discretionary response to motor vehicle accidents.
|
• Multiple vehicles involved
• Long response time • Involvement of hazardous energy (power utilities, hydrants, bridges, and so on) • Extreme weather • Involvement of buses, hazmat, high-angle, and the like |
|
What is the difference between traffic barriers and traffic-calming strategies?
|
A traffic barrier is an object (like a large fire apparatus) that can absorb the impact of a secondary crash to protect rescuers whereas traffic-calming strategies are those efforts to slow down approaching traffic.
|
|
Diagram a strategic approach to protect rescuers at roadway incidents.

|
A subway derailment below ground is similar to what kind of incident?
|
A confined space, hazmat, industrial entrapment, and structural collapse incident --all rolled into one.
|
|
What do jet fuel, burnt plastics, and composite metals have in common at an aircraft incident?
|
All are respiratory irritants and/or toxins--do not be quick to allow responders to doff SCBA during operations at aircraft incidents.
