Book excerpt: NOTE: NO FURTHER DISCOUNT FOR THIS PRINT PRODUCT-- OVERSTOCK SALE -- Signficantly reduced list price In the U.S., the response to an incident is regulated under many statues and many government agencies. It is important for responders to at least understand the basis of these regulations because they dictate everything, from how they manage a spill to the disposal of the spilt material. These regulations stipulate who should be notified and when it is not necessary, as well as what resources or assistance are available to local and state entities if the containment of a spill is beyond their capabilities.

Download or read book Traffic Incident Management in Construction and Maintenance Work Zones written by United States Department of Transportation and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-27 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2004, the Federal Highway Administration published updated rules governing work zone safety and mobility; all highway construction and maintenance projects using federal-aid highway funds are required to develop transportation management plans (TMP) focusing on safety and the reduction of traffic mobility impacts through coordination. The project TMP should consist of a collection of administrative, procedural, and operational strategies for managing and mitigating the impacts of work zones. It is important for planners, operations personnel, and incident responders to understand why the transportation operation elements are vital in the process of developing the TMP. This document addresses the special needs and concerns when managing traffic incidents within a work zone and focuses on incident management as a strategy to be considered in the transportation operations component of the TMP. A description of techniques and strategies that can be used to handle incidents in work zones is presented. Some trend-setting approaches used on high-profile construction projects are also showcased as examples of good incident response planning incorporated at the design level. The contractor's role in dealing with incidents within the work zone is addressed as well as the description of processes, procedures, and practices related to the detection, response, and clearance of incidents. The importance of including incident management procedures as an element of the transportation operations component of these plans is emphasized. The goals, objectives, and reasons for incident management as well as the issues and concerns that work zone planners, incident responders, and traffic operators need to consider in the planning phases of a work zone project are presented. Common work zone incident management strategies are described.

Download or read book Simplified Guide to the Incident Command System for Transportation Professionals written by U.s. Department of Transportation and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-21 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reducing traffic congestion and improving roadway safety are high priorities for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Traffic incidents are a major source of both highway congestion and safety problems. Incidents are estimated to cause approximately half of all traffic delay. Crashes that result from other incidents account for approximately 16 percent of all crashes and cause 18 percent of freeway deaths. For these reasons, FHWA strongly endorses the establishment and use of good traffic incident management. Effective transportation system management and operations depends on the aggressive management of temporary disruptions (caused by traffic incidents, work zones, weather, special events, etc.) in order to reduce the consequences of these disruptions and return the system to “full capacity.” The Incident Command System (ICS) is the systematic tool for the command, control, and coordination of an emergency response. ICS allows agencies to work together using common terminology and operating procedures for controlling personnel, facilities, equipment, and communications at an incident scene. The purpose of this Simplified Guide is to introduce the ICS to stakeholders who may be called upon to provide specific expertise, assistance, or material during highway incidents but who may be largely unfamiliar with ICS organization and operations. These stakeholders include transportation agencies and companies involved in towing and recovery, as well as elected officials and government agency managers at all levels. This document may also be beneficial to public safety professionals, who are familiar with ICS but may not fully understand how ICS concepts are applicable to transportation agencies.
