Knight Division TacticalDoes KDT provide hazmat technicians and entry teams?
Hazmat Technicians & Entry Teams
Yes.
KDT provides hazmat technicians and entry teams trained to the OSHA HAZWOPER requirements the work demands, with entry, backup, decon and safety staffed together so the team can work in the hot zone under an ICS-based command.

- Command and support

A hazmat entry is a team job. Under OSHA's HAZWOPER standard, 29 CFR 1910.120, people going into the hot zone work in pairs with a backup team ready, a decon line set up before anyone goes in, a safety officer watching, and someone running the operation who has the training to do it. Hazardous materials technicians do the hands-on work: identifying the product, stopping the leak, containing the release and recovering it.
KDT staffs the whole entry package or the pieces you're missing. Our people are trained to the HAZWOPER level each role requires, from operations-level support to technician and specialist, and they work the plan the Hazardous Materials Group sets: zones, PPE level, air monitoring action levels and decon.
We bring the PPE, meters, tools and decon equipment the team needs, and we fit into the ICS structure already on scene, whether that's a fire department-led hazmat response, an industrial facility or an EPA and state Unified Command.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide hazmat technicians and entry teams?
Yes. We staff hazmat technicians, entry and backup teams, decon and safety personnel trained to the HAZWOPER requirements the work demands, as a full package or individual positions.
How many people does a hazmat entry take?
More than people expect. The standard entry setup is an entry team of two, a backup team of two in the same PPE, decon staff, a safety officer and a supervisor, and complex entries take more. KDT staffs whatever the entry needs.
Can your team work in Level A suits?
Yes, when the hazard calls for it. We supply PPE from Level A to Level D and set the level from the product, the concentrations and the site safety plan.
Will your team take direction from our incident commander?
Yes. We work under the ICS structure on scene and take assignments from the Hazardous Materials Group or the Operations Section like any other resource.
