(q)(6):
Training. Training shall be based on the duties and function to be performed by
each responder of an emergency response organization. The skill and knowledge
levels required for all new responders, those hired after the effective date of
this standard, shall be conveyed to them through training before they are permitted
to take part in actual emergency operations on an incident.

in emergency response, shall be given training in accordance with the following
paragraphs:
-
(q)(6)(ii):
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. First
responders at the operational level shall have received at least eight hours of
training or have had sufficient experience to objectively demonstrate competency
in the following areas in addition to those listed for the awareness level and
the employer shall so certify.:
-
Knowledge of the basic hazard and risk assessment techniques;

Know how to select and use proper personal protective equipment provided to
the first responder operational level;

DOT Emergency Response Guidebook
This Guidebook is primarily a guide to aid first responders in quickly identifying the
specific or generic hazards of the material(s) involved in the incident, and protecting
themselves and the general public during the initial response phase of the incident.
The Emergency Response Guidebook is updated every three to four years to accommodate new
products and technology.
Use this DOT-issued guidebook to help you satisfy DOT's requirement that Hazmat shipments
be accompanied by emergency response information (49 CFR Section 172.600).
