BEEs ensure base members are protected
SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany – Senior Airman Jonathan Moroz, 52nd Aerospace Medicine Squadron bioenvironmental engineering technician, uses a hazardous material ID to identify a test powder during a function check at Bldg. 175 here March 20. Function checks are done weekly on the HAZMAT ID to ensure it’s ready to identify specific chemical compounds in soils, powders, pastes, gels and liquids. If equipment isn’t ready or calibrated it could miss identify hazards and cause the bioenvironmental Airmen to improperly diagnose treatment measures. The Airmen provide emergency response capability, monitor drinking water, assess chemical and noise hazards, and protect the environment against contamination from accidental releases of hazardous materials.
