Response organization will include the delineation of responsibilities or duties; the <br />provision of proper PPE; the collection of specialized equipment; and the establishment of a support <br />base, including communications. <br />Establish a preliminary field response plan based upon the initial situation report and the projected <br />course of action. <br />2.2.3 Stage 2 Field Action <br />Stage 2 Field Action is a coordinated field response to an emergency by multiple personnel. A Stage 2 <br />Field Action occurs when an emergency cannot be successfully resolved at the First Responder level. <br />Stage 2 field actions consist of operations undertaken in the field by multiple personnel that are <br />designed and implemented to control or abate an emergency situation. A coordinated Stage 2 field <br />response operation will continue until the situation has been successfully resolved. <br />Field Action: Operations <br />General guidelines for responding to incidents that involve specific hazardous materials classes or <br />accident scenarios are provided below. The specific course of action taken during Stage 2 Field <br />Response Action will be determined by the ongoing incident evaluation. Rescue is the primary duty of <br />any field response. Emergency response equipment locations are in 8.3.2 (d). <br />After notification, the Responder will proceed to the Operations Phase of response. The type of action <br />taken in the operations phase will depend on the incident and the Responder's capability. All other site <br />personnel have response training and should immediately begin Stage 2 operations when notification is <br />complete. The quantity and concentration of hazardous material released, and the presence or <br />absence of fire will be the primary factor in determining operations strategy. Proper personal protection <br />equipment (PPE) is mandatory during response operations. Choice of PPE will depend on the type of <br />material involved and the potential for contact with the material. <br />Suggested operational strategies and PPE requirements are listed below for potential HazMat <br />incidents. Every effort should be made, that does not involve an unwarranted risk to responders, to <br />eliminate ongoing leak or spill sources (re: closing valves, etc.) prior to beginning operations. <br />Corrosives (No Fire) <br />PPE: Chemical splash protection; respirator required; face-shield; rubber gloves; and rubber boots. <br />Response: <br />• Evaluate situation. <br />• Secure area. <br />• Rescue & First Aid, if necessary & possible. <br />• Dam or dike ahead of the spill; heavy equipment is available for earthmoving.
