The Hamilton County Hazmat team conducted a scenario utilizing the blue container with the corrosive markings and UN 3265 placard in the pictures. Once we arrived on site we setup a single decon station, and the Officer In charge with the entry/recon team verified via the ERG the product and setup a perimeter along with the Incident Action Plan, team members donned suits and made there way to the drum and and carried a sampling kit along with an Overpack drum. Team members confirmed an acid utilizing PH sampling kit.
Team members were successful in the overpacking process and secured the contents. They then came to the decon line and were fully decontaminated before doffing their suits. This type of exercise is critical in maintaining a state of readiness for the real world environment, it was extremely Hot and humid however as the Hazmat team responsible for a large part of Homeland Security district 3, we never know the weather in which we are called upon for the real call.
Hamilton County Hazmat stands ready to respond 24hrs a day 365 days a year on the behalf of all whom reside in Hamilton County.
