The threat Terrorism with us for 2 generations Only a matter of time for dirty bomb All business have fire alarms and procedures Buncefield Chernobyl Bhopal Asbestos dust in most pre 1999 buildings Travel issues www.hazmathood.com 5

Vulnerability assessment 73% of fire victims die from smoke inhalation 3 breaths of smoke unconscious 53% of 9/11 victims have new lung problems 11% of 9/11 victims suffered eye injury It was illegal to issue PPE to potential victims www.hazmathood.com 6

Government awareness Go in Stay in Tune in Fire services equipped with decontamination Temporary mortuaries enlisted Freezer lorries engaged Power stations and waste disposal crematorium 200,000 body bags purchased 8000 police trained in terrorism CBRN response www.hazmathood.com 7

Victim protection Lungs filled with contamination can’t be washed www.hazmathood.com 8 Wearing a protective hood through toxic atmosphere during evacuation is part of the new EEC new guidelines and standards CEN WA 43
9
Gap analysis No time to assess hazards or risk Victims use is not occupational No time for training or fit testing Cost and storage issues Required to travel from “Hot Zone” to safety 80 -20 Rule strip and wash ignores lungs www.hazmathood.com 9
10
The problem Potential victims not protected Illegal to issue protection PPE 2002 regs PPE regulations for occupational use only Victims could never be protected All resources on helping the victim No planning to protect the victim www.hazmathood.com In an emergency you have no time to make assessments 10

www.hazmathood.com Breathing resistance Resistance to inhalation does not exceed 15 mm water at air flow rate of 30 liters per minute. Resistance to exhalation does not exceed 5 mm water at air flow rate of 30 liters per minute. 18
19
www.hazmathood.com Accumulation of CO 2 After 10 minutes of use, accumulation of Carbon Dioxide does not exceed 3% above the average human concentration of any wearer without the mask. (NIOSH Statement of Standard for CBRN Respirator, September 30, 2003, paragraph 3.4.2 requirements). The CO 2 data recorded for the last 5 minutes took into account the last 5 breaths, that were mathematically compared to the CO 2 accumulation found on the subject tested prior to use of the mask. 19

www.hazmathood.com Respirator fit Different sizes Fit testing requirement Training requirement Maintenance requirement Inspection training requirement Filter choices 20
21
www.hazmathood.com New EEC recognised PM 750 One size will fit 90% of the population over the age of 6 years, from 5% of the lower level, up to 95% of the higher level. The twin seal around the neck provides the single point diametrical closure. 21
22
www.hazmathood.com Communications Frontal communication – the mask does not hamper quality of visibility more than 70%. The requirement is for movement of the head sideways and upwards and downwards. Verbal communication – speaking and hearing – for a distance of 2 meters between two users. The use of cellular telephone is possible whilst wearing the mask. 22
23
www.hazmathood.com No training required PM750 requires No fit testing No maintenance No training in Don or Doff No inspection requirements No Record keeping 23
