What is the recommended approach to a hazmat scene?

Explanation:
Approach a hazmat scene from the upwind, uphill, upstream side to minimize exposure to any released material. The wind tends to carry vapors downwind, and vapors or liquids can pool in low areas. By coming from the opposite direction and from higher ground, you stay ahead of the cloud and away from accumulation that could reach you. Moving from the downwind, downhill, or downstream side would place you in the path of the plume and increase risk, and heading directly toward the hazard is the most dangerous choice.
