Back in the days of my firefighting/HAZMAT we used to drill like this on a regular basis. We would even do it in a dark room if we could not smoke the room. Rescue, and proper application of a B Kit on a One-Ton Cylinder is just over 1:30 is a sign these guys have done this a few times! I will add (for my own pride) they did it with only SCBA, nothing to obsecure their vision, and...

RMP*eSubmit allows facilities to submit, correct, resubmit, and access their RMPs online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Yesterday, I spoke to around 180 professionals about emergency response and anhydrous ammonia. My presentation’s core was how they could distinguish between an “incidental release” and an “emergency response.” But it was one statement I made in an hour that brought nearly a dozen of those in attendance to come up after my talk to inquire about it. Yep, it was my reference to 1910.120(q)(3)(iv)...

The CCTV footage shows several people in the pool at an apartment complex in Hialeah when one girl’s body suddenly freezes after she touches the metal hand rail. Her father, sitting on the steps just feet away, realizes something is wrong and quickly pulls his...
