Do not jeopardize safety of responders for deceased victims. EXIT immediately: Responders must be disciplined and know their limitations Severe Hazard: Beyond P.P.E. capabilities No Live Victims: No One to Rescue, No need to be there. NFPA (2)

Victim Rescue and Recovery Things to Remember and Consider
Avoid Contact with “Unknowns” Responders / Victims to Emergency DECON Ensure Emergency Medical Services Available If IDLH environment is encountered: If safety permits, change the environment Ventilation, Vapor Dispersion / Suppression Reduce the Hazard to assist Victim Recovery Competencies – Planning the Response. (2) Describe the safety procedures, tactical guidelines, and incident response considerations to effect a rescue associated with each of the following situations: Avoid Contact with “Unknowns”: Don’t touch what you don’t need to, if your task is Victim recovery, No Need to rummage items. Brings up the “Old axiom: “If you don’t know, don’t go, it may blow” Responders / Victims to Emergency DECON: Consider everyone to enter “Hot Zone” contaminated until proven otherwise. Ensure Emergency Medical Services Available: Everyone who enters or came out of “Hot Zone” should go to Medical for at minimum baseline check and be documented If IDLH environment is encountered: If safety permits, change the environment, this will assist in victim recovery, buys the victim time, allows additional responders to assist. Ventilation, Vapor Dispersion / Suppression Reduce the Hazard to assist Victim Recovery, as above this allows more responders and more time for victims. NOTE: The last two bullets require coordination with “Command” and mitigation and Rescue personnel. NFPA (2)
