NOTICE Hazardous materials emergency response work is widely recognized as dangerous work and
responders have died or sustained serious injury and illness while attempting to mitigate an inci- dent. There is no possible way that this text can cover the full spectrum of problems and contin- gencies for dealing with every type of pipeline emergency. The user is warned to exercise all neces- sary cautions when dealing with hazardous materials. Always assume a worst case scenario and place personal and public safety first.
It is the intent of the authors that this text be a part of the users formal training in the manage-
ment of hazardous materials emergencies. Even though this book is based on commonly used prac- tices, references, laws, regulations, and consensus standards, it is not meant to set a standard of operations for any emergency response organization. The users are directed to develop their own written Standard Operating Procedures which follow all system, agency, or employer guidelines for handling hazardous materials. It is the user's sole responsibility to stay up to date with procedures, regulations, and product developments which may improve personal health and safety.

BACKGROUND HISTORY
In 2002, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Research and Special Programs Administration (now the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration), Office of Pipeline Safety, and the National Association of State Fire Marshals formed a Partnership for Excellence in Pipeline Safety. One of the first priorities of this unique partnership was to develop a training program on Pipeline Emergencies for emergency responders. Development of the Pipeline Emergencies program began in July 2003 and was completed by October 2004. Over 43,000 copies of the first edition were distributed to emergency responders with the support of DOT and NASFM. From 2005 to 2009, NASFM delivered 60 Pipeline Emergencies Train-the-Trainer programs to emergency services training agencies in 48 States.
Based on the success of the first edition, in 2010, U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline
and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), and the National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM) produced the second edition of the Pipeline Emergencies. In an effort to make the program more accessible to a larger audience in the public safety and pipeline communities, an e-Book format was adopted. The second edition program incorporates text, video, and interactive graphics into a training program that can be engaged in a variety of dif- ferent delivery systems including DVD, CD, Print, or over the Internet.
