From a spark of knowledge on a podcast to a comprehensive training hub, we empower responders of all levels in the ever-evolving world of Haz Mat response. Through hundreds of episodes, online courses, and in-person programs, we bridge the gap between novice and expert, fostering a collaborative community of continuous learning. Together, we equip responders with the skills and knowledge to navigate hazardous situations safely and effectively.
One day too late! We had a Chlorine call yesterday and totally could have used a fan... my decon guy opted for the car wash. It worked, but the event took forever.
Definitely was great to get new ideas when it comes to decon and approaching HazMat. Every class I've done has been very traditional in their approach, but recently I was fortunate to have Bobby as one of my instructor for HMIC. The ideas of using "fans and fog nozzles" to push the release further down range to get closer to a release and shut it down, and using fans for decon were so simple, but had never been talked about in any other class I've taken. A lot of great knowledge, and it's excellent stuff I can bring back to my job and my volunteer agency. Thank you guys, great content as always.
I hope you are well. Visiting your channel I have seen your all videos and content are very good but your video SEO optimization is not professional. Perhaps you are busy for managing the channel. I Will do SEO on your RU-vid videos to get more engagement. I can advertise your channel to get more subscribers and watch hours, And I can rank your videos on RU-vid If you need . Are you interested ?
I have been waiting for "approval" for this website/app for probably about 6 months now with multiple emails to support and no response. So, either the support in the background is non-existent or this ERDSS is no longer updated/supported.
Your can email directly at Support@chemicalcompanion.org. Also if your email is stout Dracula it's not likely to get approved. Use an official email address.
The OSHA recommendations for instructors are in Appendix E to 190.120. Here is what is says: 3. Instructors. Instructors should be deem competent on the basis of previous documented experience in their area of instruction, successful completion of a "train-the-trainer" program specific to the topics they will teach, and an evaluation of instructional competence by the Training Director. Instructors should be required to maintain professional competency by participating in continuing education or professional development programs or by completing successfully an annual refresher course and having an annual review by the Training Director. The annual review by the Training Director should include observation of an instructor's delivery, a review of those observations with the trainer, and an analysis of any instructor or class evaluations completed by the students during the previous year.
Guys, any chance of going into more detail regarding residential carbon monoxide alarms. I know a few statements were made regarding the operation of residential CO alarms and the FD meters not registering any CO when they arrive. Thanks
The public never gets the information those directly involved with the incident has. Making assumptions without having that same info will lead to different conclusions. No one here wants to mitigate a situation like this without getting the best possible outcome.
When adding water to fertilizer food for thought almost all are water soluble which produces a runn off problem. All things have to be balanced out but just don't forget about the possibility of making a new problem.
12:19 When preparing to open the trailer doors, to gauge the pressure inside, could you take a halligan and punch a hole through the wall of the trailer to measure the pressure of the smoke?
I am listening to this podcast today 12-29-21. Jim passed away today a great guy a wealth of knowledge in fire protection and building codes. Always willing to help anybody and share the knowledge.
This should be required listening. Humble storytelling of lessons learned/observed where none of the speakers are the hero of their own story. Keep it up gents, I'll keep listening.
Retired Fire Captain Ron Gore from Jacksonville Fire and Rescue would be a great interview. Jacksonville started a hazmat team in 1977, he was the first captain of the team and developed some the operational procedures that we still use today.
Mike Callan is a very good HazMat instructor, I've taken his classes at the Pennsylvania HazMat Technician Seminars at Harrisburg Area Community College and at the FDIC in Cincinnati, Ohio and Indianapolis, Indiana along with his partners in crime, Frank Docimo and Gregg Noll! I urge everyone that watches this presentation to seek out Mike's videos and books.
7 years ago on the New Jersey Turnpike a tractor trailer full of loose oranges was on fire. When the crew unlocked the back doors... they swung open under the pressure and put one of the firefighters in the hospital for a long time.
Regarding fight vs let it burn, I definitely agree with your assessment. If there's no exposures to protect, would you rather have a smoldering pile of sensitized nasty or a clean incineration? By way of precedent, consider the controlled burn of the Escondido Bomb Factory.
I’m a hazmat teacher for a fire brigade. I watched this video and realised the recruit firefighters I teach may never have been taught this basic skill. The next day I asked them and sure enough they had not been shown this. I taught it that day and have included this basic technique in my training curriculum. Thanks hazmat guys. Well done. Your content is invaluable. The ERDSS video was also fantastic and is to be included in our hazmat level 2 refresher training. I was lucky enough to be a part of the recent video con on the new version of ERDSS. Such a valuable and powerful tool.
Thanks for the upload, keep up the good work! You deserve way more subscribers! Have you ever looked into using smzeus . c o m!?? If I was you I’d use it to help grow your channel.
I love the video but you removed the gloves incorrectly, by putting a contaminated gloved finger under the glove to remove it, which would transfer the virus to your body, rather than pulling the fingers of the gloves to loosen it, then pulling it off from the palm. Overall a great video for the novice though. Thanks!
Incorrect. The finger he used to tuck under the other glove was not contaminated. It had been gloved and then the first thing it did was tuck under the other glove to peel it off. This is a standard and proven method of taking of barrier gloves.
What's your assessment of putting a face mask in the dryer after use? One has to figure the heat from the dryer will kill the germs, but the dryer action will make the mask not fit. Your opinion?
