It characterizes response activities and expected hazards, and develops guidelines for selecting appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). The partial or complete collapse of a multistory building creates an array of physical, chemical, and biological hazards. The most significant uncertainties are the composition and magnitude of the hazards present in the postcollapse eEmergency medical personnelUnited StatesSafety measuresFire fightersUnited StatesSafety measuresPoliceUnited StatesSafety measuresEmergency medical personnelSafety measures.Fire fightersSafety measures.PoliceSafety measures.362.18Willis Henry H904738Castle Nicholas G904739Sloss Elizabeth M904740Bartis James T.1945-904741Rand Corporation.National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.Rand Infrastructure, Safety, and Environment (Organization)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910220108603321Personal protective equipment guidelines for structural collapse events2023217UNINA
