Tutorial in Hazardous Materials Response & Emergency Management

Have you thought about how you are prepared if you have a hazardous materials release? You might think you may have water fog nozzles, secondary containment, etc. These items are good and in many cases necessary to prevent a hazardous materials release from getting bigger than you intended. However, what if you had a large release that you needed to activate a response team or if you are being impacted by a release from a neighboring facility. The organization presenting in this session has trained over 85,000 first responders in 21 countries and has responded to more than 1,000 incidents without a single injury. This oral presentation by two experienced veterans in the high hazard chemical industry will provide an overview on best practices for planning hazardous materials responses and case studies to make your plans more effective.
