Assessment of Composite Hazards at Crash Sites: Industrial Hygiene Field Guidance for Bioenvironmental Engineers

Abstract

Advanced composite material (ACM) use in the military and private sector is increasing. As a result, the personnel responding to a crash site should be able to assess the hazard and determine a category of high or low exposure risk. This assessment will take into consideration: visual assessment, duration and location of fire, physical damage, aircraft type/quantity of composite material, terrain and environmental conditions, phase of recovery and type of crash. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) required to conduct the site clean up will be directed after Site evaluation.
