Control measure knowledge

Strategic actions

Fire and rescue services should:

Provide procedures and support arrangements regarding the hazards that may be encountered and actions to take where there is a release of cryogenic materials
Provide access to personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE) suitable for use in cold conditions and in reduced oxygen environments

Tactical actions

Incident commanders should:

Select the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE), taking advice from specialist advisors (e.g. on-site personnel, hazardous materials advisor (HMA))
Identify the presence of on-site gloves and other PPE for protection against cryogenic materials
