2 Committee Responsibilities New Responsibilities NFPA 475 Recommended Practice for Organizing, Managing & Sustaining a HM/WMD Response Program Task Group Leadership Bob Royall, Tony Mussorfiti NFPA Standard for HM/WMD Emergency Response Personnel Professional Qualifications (ProQual) Task Group Chair Charles Wright, Leslie Miller NFPA 475 & 1072 Timelines 2016 Revision Cycle Have conducted 1 st Draft Discussions Posting of 1 st Draft Ballot 1 st Draft Report for Public Comment 9/7/15 Public Comment Close 11/15/15 Final Date for 2 nd Draft Meeting January San Antonio, TX Final Date for 2 nd Draft Ballot July 2016 NFPA Scope Recommended Practice for Organizing, Managing & Sustaining a HM/WMD Response Program Provides minimum requirements for organizing, managing and sustaining a HM Response Program based on the AHJ s function and assessed level of risk. Is NOT strictly HMRT-focused NFPA Chapters Laws, Regulations, Standards & Guidance Documents Risk Assessment Planning Resource Management Staffing Training Health and Medical Financial Management Program Influences Developing Relationships NFPA 1072 Document ProQual Discussion HM/WMD Emergency Response Personnel Professional Qualifications Pro Qual Standard Provides Job Performance Requirements (JPRs) for AWR, OPS-Core, OPS-MSC, HM Tech and IC Intro Statement / Requisite Knowledge / Requisite skills Organizational Based NFPA 472 (Parent) NFPA 600 NFPA 921 NFPA 1405 NFPA 1670 Individual-Based NFPA 1072 (Child) NFPA 1081 NFPA 1033 NFPA 1005 NFPA

3 NFPA 1072 Task Group Process Structure of NFPA 1072 Included members of both NFPA 472 and 1001; meetings were open to all Developed initial draft JPRs based on NFPA 472 competencies Met weekly via online teleconference Updated drafts were distributed to members after each meeting for comment Emphasizes job requirements (quals) at each level based on NFPA 472 APIE structure Analyzing the Incident What are the AWR/OPS/Tech/IC responsibilities? In what order are they performed? JPRs are presented in performance order, using level-appropriate verbs. Qualifications are not repeated from JPR to JPR or level to level (i.e., may be similar JPRs with different performance expectations). NFPA 1072 Discussion Points General Items of Note AWR and OPS: Presumed responders will be working under the supervision/direction of a higher authority (SOPs, IC, HM Tech, etc.) HMT: Presumed HMT s will be supervising Ops Mission-Specific, must know those skills IC: Presumed IC will be advised by HMT s and /or other knowledgeable HM resources NFPA 1072 Discussion Points Personal Protective Equipment AWR assumes no PPE as minimum standard OPS Core assumes responders will use PPE issued by AHJ for routine duties; AHJ responsible for training Mission-Specific PPE assumes something different is being done/used because it is a HM incident (e.g., following a different doffing procedure while going through decon, or using CPC) and potential for exposure exists 472 / 1072 HMT Core Principles Define operational capability that every HMT should provide. HMT might not be a HMRT member Analyze an incident involving up to 3 hazard classes Focus on TICs, TIMs and common day-today response scenarios (i.e., flammable liquids, compressed gases, corrosives, oxidizers) 472 / 1072 HMT Core Principles Use of multi-gas meter, PID, colorimetric tubes, ph paper or equivalent, basic rad instrumentation Not knowledgeable of CBRN materials and instrumentation 3

4 NFPA 1072 HMT Proposals NFPA 1072 HMT Proposals Detection, Monitoring & Sampling Colormetrics (tubes, chips, papers, etc.) Multi-Gas Sensor Electrochemical Sensors (toxic gas sensors) Flammable Gas / LEL Oxygen Photoionization Detector (PID) Radiation detection & monitoring Noncontact thermal detection device Controlling Container Leaks Three specific leak scenarios Leak from a bulk or non-bulk pressure container or its closures Leak from a non-bulk liquid container Leak from a bulk liquid container Basic principles of leak control NFPA 1072 HMT Proposals Controlling Container Leaks Overpacking non-bulk and radioactive materials containers Liquid Product Transfer Non-pressure container and a recovery container Bonding and grounding NFPA 472 / 1072 Relationship Summary Short-Term: NFPA 472 will need to be correlated to NFPA 1072 changes Long-Term: NFPA 472 will be the parent document in the relationship Public comments are encouraged! NFPA 472 & 473 Timelines 2017 Revision Cycle Public Input Closing Date 7/6/15 First Draft TC Meeting September st Draft Report for Public Comment 3/7/16 Public Comment Close 5/16/16 Final Date for 2 nd Draft Meeting 10/31/16 Final Date for 2 nd Draft Ballot Jan 2017 Current NFPA Technician w/specialties Tank Cars (Chap 12) Cargo Tank Trucks (Chap 13) Intermodal Tanks (Chap 14) Marine Tank & Non-Tank Vessels (Chap 15) Flammable Liquids Bulk Storage (Chap 16) Flammable Gases Bulk Storage (Chap 17) Radioactive Materials (Chap 18) 4

Contaminated Diving MSC Covers divers and surface support Clarity to distinguish emergency vs. planned dive operations No requirement for AHJ to meet requirements beyond current level of equipment, procedures E.g., Helmets, Surface Supply, Water Quality Sampling Contaminated Diving MSC Covers divers and surface support Clarity to distinguish emergency vs. planned dive operations No requirement for AHJ to meet requirements beyond current level of equipment, procedures E.g., Helmets, Surface Supply, Water Quality Sampling NFPA vs. OSHA OSHA is Law (1989); NFPA 472 is a voluntary consensus standard (6 th edition / 5 year cycle) If you meet NFPA 472, you will satisfy OSHA (q) training requirements. 5

6 NFPA vs. OSHA OSHA (q)(6) Personnel MUST be trained to perform their expected tasks and duties CPL Inspection Procedures for 29 CFR (q) released 8/27/07 Future regulatory action?
