Working around hazardous materials is a lot like war.

• You have to be on the offensive to prevent dangerous chemicals from escaping into the environment.

You are also on the defensive... keeping yourself safe from contamination and exposure.

• As in every other kind of war, you make use of defensive weapons.


• In ancient times, the primary defensive weapons were shields.


• In modern warfare, soldiers use radar and surface-to-air missiles to knock out incoming threats.

In the “war” that you fight, the “weapons” that will help you carry the day are:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).


• Decontamination Procedures.
