EMERGENCY RESPONSEEMERGENCY RESPONSESWIMS for Radiological and Other EmergenciesOnly under extreme radiological conditions such as externalradiation greater than 100 rem / hr or airborne radioactivityconcentrations greater than 100,000 DAC would the radiologicalemergency take precedence over serious personnel injuries.Hazardous conditions such as atmospheres that are IDLHwould require you to implement controls to protect theemergency responders. Therefore, you would not attempt tomove a seriously injured person before medical personnelarrived unless the radiological or other hazardous conditionpresented a greater danger to that person and yourself.Stop or Secure operations in the area. If applicable, secure theoperation causing the emergency.Warn others in the area as you are evacuating. Do not searchfor potentially missing personnel at this stage of the emergency.Isolate the source of the radiation or radioactivity or othercontaminant or hazard only if you understand the operation andare qualified to isolate the source.Minimize individual exposure and contamination. Control theentry points to the area if possible.Secure unfiltered ventilation. Evaluate the radiological or otherhazardous condition and advise facility personnel on ventilationcontrol.74SWIMS for Radiological and Other EmergenciesOnly under extreme radiological conditions such as externalradiation greater than 100 rem / hr or airborne radioactivityconcentrations greater than 100,000 DAC would the radiologicalemergency take precedence over serious personnel injuries.Hazardous conditions such as atmospheres that are IDLHwould require you to implement controls to protect theemergency responders.
