Stage 2 Field Actions consist of operations undertaken in the <br /> field by multiple personnel that are designed and implemented in order to control or <br /> abate an emergency situation.

Proper PPE is mandatory during <br /> response operations. Choice of PPE will depend on the type of material involved and the <br /> potential for contact with the material. <br /> Suggested operational strategies and PPE requirements are listed below for potential <br /> hazardous material incidents.
