Designation:F101107(Reapproved 2013)Standard Guide forDeveloping a Hazardous Materials Training Curriculum forInitial Response Personnel1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1011;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide covers a format for a hazardous materialsspill initial response team training curriculum.This guide isdesigned to assist trainers of initial response personnel inassessing the content of training curriculum by providingguidelines for subject content against which these curriculamay be evaluated.The guide should be tailored by the trainerto fit specific circumstances that are present in the communityor industry where a spill may occur.1.2 Sections 56789 of this guide identify those trainingareas that should be considered in a curriculum.The area ofpreplanning is listed and this topic should be seriously consid-ered by the user.Training is only a small part of an overall spillresponse contingency plan.A properly equipped and trainedspill response team cannot operate without a previously agreedplan of attack.1.3 Currently the Code of Federal Regulation 40 CFR 112,40 CFR 265,and 49 CFR 173 specify that producers,handlers,and shippers of hazardous materials shall plan and train forhazardous spill response.The broad interpretation of theseregulations could include the requirement to train state andlocal response organizations who may be required to handlehazardous materials in an emergency spill situation.Regardlessof the above regulatory requirements,training is essential to aproper response in an emergency.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 Federal Regulations:40 CFR 112Oil Pollution Prevention240 CFR 265Interim Status Standards for Owners andOperators of Hazardous Waste Treatment,Storage,andDisposal Facilities249 CFR 173ShippersGeneral Requirements for Ship-ments and Packagings22.2 Other Documents:2004 Emergency Response Guide Book3NIOSH Pub#2005149,NIOSH/OSHAPocket Guide to Chemical Hazards,(September 2005)4Emergency Handling of Hazardous Materials in SurfaceTransportation5Materials Safety Data Sheets6National Response Plan,Release Number:FNF-07032,Department of Homeland Security7American National Standard Criteria forAccepted Practicesin Safety,Health,and Environmental Training83.Summary of Guide3.1 This guide covers the following areas:3.1.1 Preplanning,3.1.2 Initial Assessment,1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F20 on HazardousSubstances and Oil Spill Responseand is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeF20.21 on Initial Response Actions.Current edition approved April 1,2013.Published April 2013.Originallyapproved in 1986.Last previous edition approved in 2007 as F1011 07.DOI:10.1520/F1011-07R13.2Available from U.S.Government Printing Office Superintendent of Documents,732 N.Capitol St.,NW,Mail Stop:SDE,Washington,DC 20401,http:/www.access.gpo.gov.3Available from Government of Canada(to be revised in 2008),http:/hazmat.dot.gov/pubs/erg/gydebook.htm.4Available from U.S.Department of Health and Human Services,200Independence Ave,S.W.,Washington,DC 20201.Or available from U.S.Department of Labor,200 Constitution Avenue,N.W.,Washington,DC 20210.5Available from the Association of American Railroads/Bureau of Explosives,1920 L Street,N.W.,Washington,DC 20036.6OSHA 20 or Materials Safety Data Sheets are available from the specificchemical manufacturers.7Available from the Department of Homeland Security at http:/www.dhs.gov/xprepresp/committees/editorial_0566.shtm.8Available from American Society of Safety Engineers,1800 East Oakton St.,Des Plaines,IL 600182187,approved July 2002.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.1.3 Personal Safety Equipment,3.1.4 Training,and3.1.5 Implementation of Plan of Attack.3.2 Preplanning covers the aspects of pre-accident planningthat should be considered by the response team members.Thisincludes identification of potential hazardous chemicals,spilllocations,and resource identification.3.3 Initial assessment outlines those assessments that shouldbe made when arriving at the accident location to assist in thedevelopment of a plan of attack.3.4 Personal Safety Equipment discusses those safety de-vices and their limitations that are available to the responseteam members.3.5 Training describes the activities that could be conductedby the team on a regular basis and the improvement of trainingplans after training exercises
