Given three hazardous materials/WMD, one of which is a solid, one a liquid, and one
a gas, and using the following monitoring equipment, test strips, and reagents, the hazardous
materials technician shall select from the following equipment and demonstrate the correct
techniques to identify the hazards (Corrosivity, flammability, oxidation potential, oxygen
deficiency, radioactivity, toxicity, and pathogenicity):
A. Carbon monoxide meter
B. Colorimetric tubes
C. Combustible gas indicator
D. Oxygen meter
E. Passive dosimeters
F. pH indicators and pH meters
G. Photo-ionization and flame ionization detectors
H. Radiation detection instruments
I. Reagents
J. Test strips
K. WMD detectors (chemical and biological)
L. Other equipment provided by the AHJ
The hazardous materials technician shall demonstrate methods for collecting samples of
the following:
A. Gas
B. Liquid
C. Solid
II. II. II. II. Instructions Instructions Instructions Instructions –––– Procedures for Achieving the ObjectiveProcedures for Achieving the ObjectiveProcedures for Achieving the ObjectiveProcedures for Achieving the Objective
Given a solid, a liquid, and a gas, you will demonstrate the appropriate method for
collecting a sample for evaluation. You will select the appropriate type of monitoring
equipment to classify or identify the material by using the instruments, reagents and test
strips as provided by the AHJ. (Example: if a sample is a liquid and has a pH of 2, it would
be an acid. If it also had a LEL of 12%, it would also be a flammable liquid). You will begin
on my instruction to start. The skill will end when you state or indicate to me that you have
completed all the identified steps. Do you understand these instructions?
