«Chemical
risk» Leaders course
«Chemical risk»
Leaders course in Divulje , Croatia, June 06. –
17. 2005 in Regional Disaster Management Center
«Divulje» was organized in cooperation with French
embassy in Zagreb.
This course was
held by French firefighter instructors: Commander
Jean Francois Roure (SDIS 30) for pedagogical responsibilities,
and Commander Cristinne Saludas (l`EMZ south) and
Captain Gil Dopierala (SDIS 84) as lecturers.
On the course they
were representatives of 8 countries: Albania, Bosnia
and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovenia,
Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania an Croatia (professional
fire departments Umag, Rijeka, Varazdina, Sisak,
and Zagreb).
During two weeks following subject are been practiced:
• Presentation of
Civil Protection in France
• Presentation of French National Instruction Guide
“Chemical Risk” and experience application
• Toxicology
• Presentation o f personal protection kit
• Basis of operative management and command
• Saturated steam pressure, LIE, LES, Inflammation
Point
• Reflex and planned actions
• Operative Management and Command applied on Chemical
risk
• SAS
• Directed actions
• BLEVE and estimation of the material quantity
• Presentation of impressive OZIRIS software who
calculates, predict and presents all factors used
on chemical risk accident. We can only hope that
this software will be translated, with our cooperation,
and put in our fire service.
After that practical
field exercises are being held in different scenarios:
river pollution, see pollution, truck crash with
HAZMAT materials involved, chemical plant accident,
swimming pool accident, possible BLEVE scenario...
On practical field
exercises we rotate our roles to learn every part
of tactical or operating work in chemical risk accident.
From tactical point
of view, it is not so much different from our tactic,
but it is much better organized; entry door SAS
is constantly monitored and entire tactical situation
is always been drawn on a board which decreases
possibility of fatal error.
We have also visited Split fire department and some
local HAZMAT exercise in nearby town of Sibenik.
French instructors
have been monitoring an evaluating progress of candidates,
and on last day we have a test.
Members of Regional Disaster Management Center «Divulje»
who organized these course in cooperation with French
embassy in Zagreb are to recommended for they effort
and good organization skills. We can only hope that
similar courses are going to be held in future,
and that we will be there.
Thank you all! ;)
