Re: Campus/Lab Spill Response?

[Michael Bittle <mbittle@ISTAR.CA>]

Dave,

I was recently talking with Scott Connor, Manager of Training Services for TEAM-1
Environmental Services, based here in southern Ontario (TEAM-1 is a sponsor of the
World Conference on Disaster Management http://www.wcdm.org which is one of our
clients).

TEAM-1 provides regular training for NFPA 472, and their course instructors are all
experienced HazMat responders. I'll copy your note to Scott at srconnor@TEAM-1.net,
to see if he can provide you with some information based on his firm's experience.
