Keeping first responders safe in all emergency situations is of the utmost importance. Tactical gear allows first responders to enter harsh conditions to perform their jobs and protect the public. Signs, labels and technical documents inform the first responders of the type of hazardous materials and the appropriate response. And of course an abundance of education and training is required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let\u2019s gear up for hazardous materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Resources<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hazmat\">Hazmat<\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2013 Wikipedia<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dangerous_goods\">Dangerous Goods (Hazmat)<\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8211; Wikipedia<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hazchem\">Hazchem<\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">(outside of the U.S.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hazard_symbol#Biohazard_symbol\">Biohazard History and Geometry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/padlet.com\/\">Padlet<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/Publications\/HazComm_QuickCard_Pictogram.html\">OSHA Pictograms for Hazardous Materials<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/pls\/oshaweb\/owadisp.show_document?p_table=standards&amp;p_id=9794\">OSHA Sign Requirements<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.phmsa.dot.gov\/\">Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/hw\">EPA and hazardous materials<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/training.fema.gov\/emiweb\/downloads\/is-comp.pdf\">FEMA Hazardous Material Training<\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2013 PDF document download<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Firestorm of Brainstorming <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Imagine all the places you could find hazardous material signs or warning labels, i.e. chemistry lab, fuel truck, cleaning products.
