Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EMTs are trained to provide medical care and ensure safety at the scene of an incident, but containment and control of hazardous materials are typically the responsibility of specially trained hazardous materials (HAZMAT) teams, not EMTs. EMTs focus on scene size-up, assessing risks, and activating appropriate emergency response systems.
