Situation

Hazardous Material or 'Hazmat' teams are highly specialized and deal with extremely dangerous materials and situations in restricted and confined space. These incidents require a specialized operations team to deal with suspicious and potentially dangerous materials with the potential to be explosive, corrosive, oxidizing, biohazardous, pathogenic, toxic or even radioactive. Due to the specialist nature, these incidents are often undertaken as a mutual aid and often in conjunction with a private company or transportation provider.

Complication

The variety of potential chemicals makes it extraordinarily difficult to always be prepared for the unexpected, making training and qualification tracking very important and equally as difficult an exercise. Knowing what experience and exposure to chemicals involved based on past data is crucial information which can be hard gather from paper or spreadsheet reporting.

Hazmat response teams have one of the largest and most expensive caches of equipment, with huge demands on monitor calibrations, breathing apparatus checks, detection devices. Coordinating this is a time intensive task when administered by spreadsheet or custom database solutions.
