Lack of teamwork and proper training may have bad ending

It was the start of what we call a normal day on the job, until later in the morning when an alarm for a chemical leak inside a beverage warehouse was sounded. The dispatch consisted of what we call a HAZMAT box: four engine companies, one truck company, a rescue squad, basic life support unit, HAZMAT company, and command officer. I was working at the HAZMAT company that day.

Upon our arrival, the warehouse had been evacuated and a strong odor of ammonia had already consumed the entire area surrounding the warehouse. Three hazardous materials technicians and myself entered the release area to shut off the valve to the leaking pipe. After locating the release area we located the valve and made an attempt to close the valve. While closing the valve a sudden release of gaseous and liquid ammonia covered the personnel working at and around the valve. Visibility was taken from us almost instantaneously because of the gaseous release and communications were lost between all four technicians. I was able to find my way out and noticed that my personnel were still inside the release area. Prior to making another entry to locate my personnel, I noticed a white smoke coming from my chemical boots.

After further investigation I realized that the oil-based paint from the concrete floor was causing a chemical reaction under the soles of my boots. I reentered the release area, located my personnel, and immediately withdrew from the release area to the decontamination area. Once we were refreshed, a second entry attempt was made into the release area, where we were able to locate another sectional valve and stop the leak.

Prior to leaving the scene we finally determined that prior to our arrival a firefighter had entered the release area and closed the valve without notifying command and/or hazardous materials personnel. When hazardous materials personnel entered the release area thinking that the valve was not closed, they actually reopened it, which caused the valve to freeze in the open position. No personnel were injured or exposed to the ammonia, but the incident proved to be very dangerous as a result of personnel freelancing and the lack of train­ing present at an emergency scene.

10. Письменно переведите текст на русский язык.

The fire risk in machine shops typically involves the accidental release of flammable liquids onto hot surfaces or live electric circuits. This could be a pressurized fuel or lubrication oil pipe or hose that ruptures and spills hot oil onto a hot exhaust manifold, for example. Because an oil fire can be so intense, a fixed fire protection system is usually necessary to reduce danger to people, equipment and buildings. A variety of fire protection agents have traditionally been used for protecting against factory fires. In large spaces, or where large volumes of flammable liquid may be released, foam or chemical-based systems have often been specified. However, these are not effective against spray fires, surrounding equipment can be damaged and special clean-up procedures are needed.

In smaller machinery spaces different kinds of gaseous extinguishing systems are often installed, but all have serious shortcomings. C02 systems are common, although there have been fatal accidents when systems have accidentally discharged during maintenance. Conventional water spray systems are not popular due to the water damage potential.

Well-engineered, high-pressure water mist systems are increasingly seen as a better solution for many factories as they provide fast extinguishing, cooling to prevent re-ignition and radiant heat absorption to prevent fire spreading and further damage. A gas-tight enclosure is not required - indeed fire tests are carried out with door openings. Water mist systems are therefore effective and safe for people, the environment and the protected equipment.
