Re: Emergency Response

["DAVE GRIFFITH" <DAVE@OHS.UWO.CA>]

At the University of Western Ontario we have a 24 hr on call system
for emergency response.  We have a pager that is shared among seven
trained individuals within our health and safety department.  During
working hours our employees know to contact the department directly
for a spill emergency.  The campus police also contact us if they
find a problem.  After hours the pager is activated by the police in
case of a spill.  As a back up there is a phone in list of everybodys
home numbers and cellular numbers (if they have one).  We have the
training and equipment to handle most situations (up to SCBA's and
level B environment suits).  This has served the university's needs
so far (fingers crossed), including a major lab explosion and large
PCB spill.

The problem isn't that there are too many fools in this world,
rather its that lightning isn't selective enough.
