Re: Campus/Lab Spill Response?

[Stephen Helms <helms@kutztown.edu>]

Dan,
	J.T. Baker Chemical Company offers Safety, Health and 
Environmental training seminars both at their site in New Jersey
and at your site.  They offer laboratory spill response seminars 
and 16, 24 and 40 hour Chemical Emergency Response seminars (with
refresher programs) that will probably meet your needs.

	I would imagine, if your staff received Baker training, 
they would dove-tail into the public response quite nicely.  You
can call Baker's office of Training Services at 1-800-859-9400.

	Perhaps the training professionals at Baker can provide 
you with some guidance on how to develop your emergency response
plans.
