Opis

Investigators who evaluate incidents at sites where Hazardous Materials are present face unique hazards. Whether the investigation is for arson, for insurance purposes after an incident, for litigation or to identify the Root Causes of the incident as part of Process Safety Management, the presence of Hazardous Materials adds an additional dimension to the investigation; How does one respond safely to gather the information needed and at the same time meet all of the legal and regulatory requirements for working in a hazardous environment? The Forensic Investigator's Safety Handbook provides the information needed to operate in a contaminated environment ranging from the types of Personal Protective Equipment required for the specific hazards present to the forms required to document that the appropriate Federal and State-regulations have been complied with correctly. This book is basically in two parts-a text section explaining how to work safely in a contaminated environment and a series of appendices containing examples of the forms required to document that the work met all federal and state safety requirements. The forms provided have been used in over 1000 incidents.
