Description: This book brings together essential safety information from multiple sources, agencies, and regulatory bodies to create an invaluable reference for industrial, transportation, environmental, first response, and federal and state agency personnel.
Provides a detailed reference for emergency responders and people who transport chemicals. Considering the events of September 11, this book is especially oriented toward first responder and emergency management personnel. New to this edition is information on chemical warfare (CW) agents and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)-nerve gasses, blister agents/vesicants, "blood agents," choking/pulmonary agents, and crowd-control agents (tear gasses, pepper sprays, etc.) that might be used as weapons of terrorism. It clearly explains symptoms of exposure and appropriate treatment for the exposure when available, and describes what to do in an emergency situation. The book also gives the NFPA hazard classifications, as well as chemical hazard class information.
