Objective 5-1: Given the name of a chemical, the student will be able to determine the ionization potential of a chemical
Objective 5-2: Given the ionization potential of a chemical and the bulb strength of a photo ionization detector (PID), the student
will be able to determine if the PID is able to detect the chemical.
Objective 5-3: Given the name of a chemical, the student will be able to use the HazmatlQ'"^ charts to determine if the chemical
contains carbon and hydrogen, and can be detected by a flame ionization detector (FID).
Objective 5-4: Given simulated air monitoring readings in mg/m3 or ppm, the student will be able to determine if the
environment exceeds published IDLH levels.
Objective 5-5: Given a fictional hazardous materials scenario involving a container and simulated temperature readings, the
student will recognize the possibility of polymerization or a chemical reaction; and verbalize the need to withdrawal from the
area.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The HazMatlQ Above The Line/
Below The Line System is a patented program developed
by experienced hazardous materials responders, taught in
a straight forward, easy to understand methodology. This
cornerstone course, lays the foundation for all HazMatlQ
Courses. Through the use of simplified flow charts,
personnel are able to safely and efficiently respond to any
known or unknown chemical/mixture. Students will be
trained to size -up (physical state, hazards, initial hot zone,
correct meters and PPE) of any chemical in seconds. The
system use a streamlined methodology to build upon the
initial size -up, preparing them to immediately go to work
when they arrive on a Hazardous Materials/WMD event.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
The HazMatlQ 4 - step system consists of:
Step 1) Revolutionary 10 - second "Above the line - Below
the line" chemical size -up.
Step 2) Verifying/adjusting initial size -up using HMIQ
Charts and a reference source.
Step 3) Choosing the appropriate meter(s) and protective
equipment
Step 4) Operating safely in the hot zone based on mission
