===220.19 Hazardous Material Alert===

[[File:watermark.jpg|center|250px|]]

===PURPOSE:===
To create a standard method of patient care for incidents involving patients exposed to or suspected to have been exposed to a Hazardous Substance or Hazardous Material. By declaring a HAZMAT ALERT a pre-planned series of events will take place to protect the patient, our personnel, and the receiving facility’s personnel. A HAZMAT ALERT will provide the following:

Early notification to receiving hospitals of an incoming HAZMAT patient.<BR>

Early involvement of the closest HAZMAT Team in decision-making.<BR>

Early involvement of Regional Poison Control or Medical Control.<BR>

===RESPONSIBILITY:===
All personnel assigned to Fire Operations and Communications.

===DEFINITION:===
A Hazardous Material is defined as any chemical compound found in solid, liquid or gas form that is not intended for human inhalation, ingestion or absorption.

===PROCEDURE:===
A HAZMAT ALERT should be initiated:
* At the time of dispatch, when a caller reports a medical emergency involving a chemical smell or hazardous material exposure.
* When the first arriving crew suspects a hazardous materials exposure due to odor, history or other sources of information.
* By Hospital Emergency Department staff, in the event a hazardous material exposure is suspected, from a walk-in patient and additional resources are needed.
