The term “Shelter-in-Place” (SIP) is becoming more and more popular in emergency response plans and although it is a VITAL part of many response plans, doing it PROPERLY may NOT be as easy as it sounds. In this article, I hope to explain what is required when we claim “shelter-in-Place” as a method to manage exposures during a chemical release and some of the issues we...

This is NOT an April Fool’s joke, but a fact. It is not a well known requirement, but we have seen OSHA use this from time to time when teams have been disbanded – me being one of those they used to make an example of.

So to best lay this all out in some logical progression, lets first look at the...
