For the most part, future trends will be found in liazard accident prevention, not liazard analysis. To help promote liazard accident prevention, companies should start employee-training programs. These programs should be designed to alert staff and employees about tlie liazards tliey are exposed to on tlie job. Training should also cover company safety policies and tlie proper procedures to follow in case an accident does occur.

Education and Communication If there is a lack of understanding about the project or its objectives, focus on upfront communication and education. In our example, the vice president of marketing could attend an innovation class or read more about the benefits of an innovation deployment. This would improve her support and she would also be able to help convey the benehts to others.

The mere distribution of vouchers may not provide recipients with sufficient incentive to overcome sociocultural barriers to using a service. Efforts to encourage vasectomy in men, for example, may be thwarted by a misperception that the intervention leads to impotence. Combining the voucher scheme with social marketing or an information, education, and communication campaign may help remove these barriers. 

Policymakers need to ensure that the original recipients are fully aware of the benefits and do not pass on their vouchers simply because they perceive them to be of no value. This is something that should be monitored closely through studies of nonredeemers. Voucher distributors can play a key role in ensuring that recipients are well informed. Their efforts can be reinforced by a clear, well-targeted information, education, and communication campaign.

Because the farm enterprise will require more technical service, it is reasonable to assume that our sales representatives will become more technically oriented in order to provide farmers, farm managers, and distributors the technical information required. They will have to be crop specialists because they will be selling crop programs, not just products. Support of these personnel and services will require more sophisticated educational and communication techniques to insure effective and safe use of pesticides. 

In the competitive sixties, the key words to sum up the technical service organizations in plastics will be Education and Communication. They will be the technical knowledge seekers who specialize in plastic products and end uses. They will pass on that knowledge to management to assist in intelligent decision-making. They will communicate with other in-company groups to assure uniformity of company action and with customers to help them understand and make best use of plastic products. 

In the sixties, because of the role of technical service organizations in education and communication, the integrated company effectiveness in plastics development and sales will, we trust, be increased. We feel that the technical service and product development organizations in plastics are one of management s most useful tools to do the job.

Healthcare providers, as well as local officials, are concerned about the spread of contamination. The procedure for decontamination of litter patients can be found in Appendix E of U.S. Army Field Manual 8-10-4, Medical Platoon Leaders Handbook Tactics, Techniques and Procedures.8 The IRF will decontaminate patients and pass them across a hotline to the Medical Response Team (MRT). At that point the casualty should be completely clean. Civilian officials may require a casualty certified clean before moving the patient off the military installation. This requirement may be avoided through adequate coordination and training prior to an exercise or an actual chemical accident or incident. Building confidence in the civilian sector through education and communication is essential in providing a rapid and adequate medical response.
