First responder operations level. First responders at the operations level are individuals who respond to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances as part of the initial response to the site for the purpose of protecting nearby persons, property, or the environment from the effects of the release.

They are trained to respond in a defensive fashion without actually trying to stop the release. Their function is to contain the release from a safe distance, keep it from spreading, and prevent exposures.

  • Knowledge of the basic hazard and risk assessment techniques.
  • Knowledge in selection and use of proper personal protective equipment provided to the first responder operational level.
  • An understanding of basic hazardous materials terms.
  • Ability to perform basic control, containment, and/or confinement operations within the capabilities of the resources and personal protective equipment available with their unit.
