Training. Training shall be based on the duties and function to be performed by

this standard, shall be conveyed to them through training before they are permitted
to take part in actual emergency operations on an incident.

in emergency response, shall be given training in accordance with the following
paragraphs:

persons, property, or the environment from the effects of the release. They are
trained to respond in a defensive fashion without actually trying to stop the
release. Their function is to contain the release from a safe distance, keep
it from spreading, and prevent exposures. First

DOT Emergency Response Guidebook
This Guidebook is primarily a guide to aid first responders in quickly identifying the
specific or generic hazards of the material(s) involved in the incident, and protecting
themselves and the general public during the initial response phase of the incident.
The Emergency Response Guidebook is updated every three to four years to accommodate new
products and technology.
Use this DOT-issued guidebook to help you satisfy DOT's requirement that Hazmat shipments
be accompanied by emergency response information (49 CFR Section 172.600).
