Did you know?

A critical consideration when choosing a response strategy is the safety of emergency responders. Adequate information about on site chemicals can make a big difference when choosing a safe response strategy. Generally responders rely primarily on Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) maintained at the facility. However, MSDSs may not provide sufficient information to effectively and safely respond to accidental releases. First responders [should] take proper precautions and identify additional sources of chemical information which could help prevent death or injury. (Chemical Safety ALERT: "Use Multiple Data Sources for Safer Emergency Response," US EPA, Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, June 1999)

Would the PDC's state-funded training help your hazardous materials professionals be even more confident and prepared for ANY emergency?

 
 

"This is the best HAZMAT course I have ever taken, and I have been in the business for over twenty years! The instructor is the most knowledgeable I've ever seen, and is able to present in ways that people can understand. In fact, most of our employees who have gone through this course have been promoted to supervisors from being technicians".
