APIE Process in Hazmat Incidents

What is the APIE process?

Answer:

The APIE process is a simple 4-step response model that guides responders' actions in hazmat incidents. It stands for Assessment, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation. This process helps responders effectively handle hazardous materials incidents by providing a structured approach to assess the situation, plan interventions, carry out the plan, and evaluate the results.
