There are many aspects of protection of personnel handling the chemicals in a production setting. First, they must be informed about the hazards involved by reading thoroughly the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for each material used. These must be supplied by the manufacturer or vendor of the chemical and must be accessible to the personnel at all times. MSDSs not only inform about the hazards, but also recommend proper handling, the type of personal protection to be used, ways of disposal, ways to handle spills, and emergency contacts.

This feature proved very useful in recording the chemicals, in some cases numbering in the hundreds, that an individual facility might store. Once facility information has been entered, it may be passed to subsequent cards containing information about different chemicals without additional typing. If a change -- for example, in the name or telephone number of the emergency contact person at the facility -- is made on only one of the cards, however, it is passed to all the others.

Maintaining safety standards is difficult in any size organization. A written safety manual that has specific practices and procedures for normal workplace hazards as well as the emergency-related hazards you identify is not only a good idea, it may lower your insurance rates. If outside workers set foot in your facility prepare a special safety manual for contractors. Include in it installation standards, compliance with lock-out/tag-out, and emergency contact names, and phone numbers. (Lock-out/tag-out is a set of standard safety poHcies that assure that energy is removed from equipment during installation and maintenance. It assures that every member of a work detail is clear before power is reapplied.) Make sure outside contractors carry proper insurance and are qualified, Hcensed, or certified to do the work for which you contract. 

An excellent home family preparedness measure is to identify a distant relative or friend who can be the emergency message center. Employees maybe able to call a relative from work to find out their family is safe and sound. Disasters that impair telephone communications teach us that it is often possible to make and receive long distance calls when a call across the street will not get through. Business emergency planners should not overlook this hint. A location in another city, or a key customer or supplier may make a good out-of-area emergency contact. 

Educational information includes all the data maintained by schools and by other parties acting for the educator.

Other information collected may include family information with the name and address of the student, parent or guardian, emergency contact information, date of birth, number of siblings, and date and place of birth.
