HAZWOPER Safety Orientation Video and DVD Excerpt: Every time that you enter a highly contaminated site, you need to think about the hazards you'll face. Objects you encounter could burn your skin on contact. And breathing the air might permanently damage your lungs. But you're a professional, and you've taken precautions. You're familiar with the substances on site. You've consulted the MSDS's and HAZMAT reference books. You know what these chemicals react with, how to handle them and what their medical affects are. You're wearing the proper level of personal protective equipment (PPE). Your self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is in perfect working condition, and has a full tank of breathable air. You thoroughly tested your radio, and you know the signals you'll use to communicate with coworkers in the hot zone. You have the monitoring equipment you'll need to detect contaminants in the area. You've been extremely thorough in your preparations, but theirs one other thing that you should never over look, what's going on between your ears. Developing the correct way of thinking is more important to staying safe then your PPE is. With the right orientation you'll be sure to get your job done properly, without exposing yourself to undue risk in the process.
