<br />Level 2: An incident involving a greater hazard or a larger area which poses a potential threat to life or property and <br />which may require a limited evacuation of the surrounding area. Generally requiring a response of four to six <br />response technicians, safety officer and an On-Scene Commander. <br /> <br />Level 3: An incident involving a severe hazard or a large area which poses an extreme threat to life and property <br />and will probably require a large-scale evacuation; or an incident requiring the expertise or resources of local, state, <br />and federal, or other private agencies and organizations. Generally requiring the response of ten or more response <br />technicians, safety officer, logistics manager, resource manager, operations manager and an On-Scene Commander. <br /> <br />Guidance Table: The following table is presented for guidance in determining these levels. The highest level for <br />any single condition will determine the incident level. For example, poison gas (such as cyanide or phosgene) could <br />initially require a Level 3 response due to the nature of the danger to the public. An incident level and the response <br />can always be downgraded when additional information or resources become available. However, it is much more <br />difficult to upgrade and obtain control when situations are going beyond the capabilities of the on scene resources. <br /> <br />CONDITION LEVEL ONE LEVEL TWO LEVEL THREE <br />PRODUCT No DOT Placard Dot Placard Poison A <br /> Required PCB's/No Fire Explosive A/B <br /> ORM,A,B,C,D EP A Regulated Waste Organic Peroxide <br /> (Asbestos) Flammable Solid <br /> Any Unidentified Chlorine <br /> Substance Fluorine <br /> Anhydrous Ammonia <br /> Radioactives <br /> PCB's on fire <br />NFP A #704 o or I all Categories 2 for any Category 3 or 4 any Category <br /> Including Special <br /> Hazards <br />CONTAINER SIZE Small (pail, drum, Medium (one ton Large (tank cars/trucks, <br /> cylinder, package, bag) containers, portable stationary tanks, hopper <br /> containers, nurse tanks, cars/trucks, multiple <br /> multiple oacka2:es) medium containers) <br />CONTAINER Not Damaged Damaged but Damaged Catastrophic <br />INTEGRITY Serviceable for handling Rupture Possible <br /> or transfer of oroduct <br />LEAK SEVERITY No or Small Release Not Controllable May not be Controllable <br /> Contained or Confined without Special even with Special <br /> with Available Resources or Resources <br /> Resources "Reportable Ouantities" <br />LIFE SAFETY No Life Hazard Local Area Limited Large Area Mass <br /> Evacuation Evacuation <br />IMPACT ON Minimal Moderate Severe <br />ENVIRONMENT <br /> <br />Response Organization: Under the Incident Command System, the incident organization will develop in a <br />modular progression depending on the exact nature and specific conditions prevailing at the scene. AMX shall <br />operate under the unified command system with the AMX On-Scene Commander making recommendations to a <br />customer or municipal Incident Commander and directing all AMX response operations. <br /> <br />Response Management: A response manager, on the initial call out, will manage the first response for AMX. The <br />response manager will be the On-Scene Commander. Responsibility may be transferred to succeeding personnel <br />using the established lines of authority within AMX's management structure. All personnel at the response location <br />will be made aware of any command change immediately. <br /> <br />46 <br />
