In-Hospital Hazmat Spill Training
Maintaining a specialized emergency response team requires extensive training, costly equipment, and ongoing medical surveillance. Many of these issues can be avoided by training certain personnel in the immediate release area to identify and execute the appropriate response to all spills. In some cases, initiating an emergency response will include calling an outside response agency (community HazMat team). For small, incidental spills, DQE will train your staff how to manage the containment, cleanup, and disposal safely and effectively in compliance with OSHA regulations.
