Special: The D.E.C.I.D.E./GEBMO Story + related documents

  • This set of documents traces the development and growth of a new paradigm for the safe handling of hazardous materials emergencies during the period 1968-1980, from the recollections and memorabilia of a participant.

  • The work described in the The D.E.C.I.D.E./GEBMO Story led to the Level A award to the author "For your Leadership, Service and Support for the Hazardous Materials Response and Training Program" by the International Association of Fire Chiefs' Hazardous Materials Committee at the International Hazardous Materials Response Teams Conference, June 2 2006, Hunt Valley Maryland.

  • View Slide Presentation at June 2001 HazMat Conference.

    Historical Document:

    I have posted an early internal working draft of a technical document I prepared at the NTSB in 1971-1972 which contains the risk oriented basis for focusing the Board's HazMat safety efforts on emergency responder safety and head shields, and the seeds of ideas for GEBMO, DECIDE, TRACEM and other models that were developed for Frank Brannigan's Fire Science curriculum at Montgomery College in subsequent years. The study was overtaken by external events before it was completed, and was not further developed for consideration by the Board.
