Recently, Matystik et al lia C prepared a suiiuiiary outline for interested users on tliese otlier state regulatory initiatives. The outline is a baker s dozen of information wliicli include the following for each state ... [Pg.97]

One such appendix should relate to emergencies caused by fixed facility or transportation incidents in which hazardous materials are involved. Chemical facilities must provide substantial support to the community in preparing this portion of the local emergency plan, and provide resources and training leadership that are not available elsewhere in the community. Where a Hazardous Material Advisory Council exists, there is an effective forum for doing this. In any case, a chemical facility manager should seek ways to help the community prepare for and recover from incidents of this nature. [Pg.169]

The data obtained on heavy metal concentrations in the air at TNB provided information on natural and/or anthropogenic events. The combination of three analytical techniques (INAA, ETA-AAS and HPLC) has proved important in the evaluation of the environmental state of the atmosphere where concentrations are so low. Finally, the elaboration and the analysis of the monitoring data continues therefore, more definitive conclusions may be available at a later stage. The Madrid Protocol also requires the preparation of emergency plans and this contributes to the safety of stations. From the Italian experience it can be said that the Madrid Protocol is a major contribution to the protection of Antarctic environment, to the efficient management of research stations and to the safety of Antarctic personnel. [Pg.360]

Finally, an essential aspect of any off-site planning and preparation is to establish procedures to adopt in the case of an emergency. This could be an injury to a pupil, an illness requiring immediate medical treatment or a fatality. It could also mean missing children or involvement in a traffic accident. Figure 8.1 provides an example of recommended procedure to be followed by leaders and accompanying teachers in the event of an emergency incident. However, not all procedures will apply to all incidents. [Pg.133]

Plan and prepare for emergencies, and conduct training and drills. [Pg.394]

The section of the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act (SARA) that requires industry to develop comprehensive emergency response plans and mandates public disclosure of hazards of materials handled or stored in certain quantities. It requires facilities that store hazardous materials to provide officials and citizens with data on the types (flammables, corrosives, etc.), amounts on hand (daily, yearly), and their specific locations. Facilities are to prepare and submit inventory lists. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), and tier 1 and 2 inventory forms. It is also known as the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA). [Pg.269]

In EU countries, certain improvements to the legislative underpinnings of these arrangements have been made in the context of the implementation of the European Union s Seveso II Directive. This involves greater consultation with the public during the preparation of offsite emergency plans and requirements for local authorities and industry to test their plans at regular intervals. [Pg.680]
