Looking for Free Online Hazmat Resource Information and Training?

If you have online resources at the scene of an incident involving hazardous materials, then you need to know about and bookmark the these two very important reference links:

1. Chemical Response Tool

2. CAMEO Chemicals

The Chemical Response Tool, was developed by NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration for the U.S. Coast Guard. Use it when you need to identify hazardous substances, assess their hazards, and plan or manage a response. It's also a companion quick reference for CAMEO Chemicals.

What's cool about this website is that anyone can access it without restriction.

Emergency response? Need another reference source(s)?
Need help figuring out exactly what you have and what to do?
Have limited training resources or funding for your department?

Here's what's available for you:

Chemical Response Tool

Anyone having to take the time to look up something, and first find the reference source knows through these links how valuable this tool is. What is also very important is that this information is a nationally recognized resource which is a standard that you can follow knowing that someone has already done the homework.

I hope you all find this a helpful link to both be told about and for you to use in the future.
