"Emergency Preparedness: Findings from CSB Accident Investigations"
The CSB video demonstrates that emergencies at facilities that use and store hazardous chemicals result from recurring difficulties in three areas:
- Training
- Communications
- Community Planning
The video then outlines responsibilities for first responders, communities and companies: First responders should:
- Have proper hazmat training and equipment
- Conduct drills and exercises for chemical releases
- Communicate with companies in their communities that deal with chemicals
- Know key facility contacts in an emergency
