Our hazardous materials training manual, National Emergency Response Hazmat Drills: 50 Drills for Use with Hazardous Materials Personnel, is finally available on Amazon!

Episode Overview: In this episode, Michael and Bobby answer listener questions on various hazmat topics, including refrigerants and chemical suicides. They provide insights into practical responses and safety measures, share their personal experiences, and discuss the importance of proper training and equipment.

There are some questions that come into the show that we just can’t email back because they are too lengthy or to in depth. On the other hand, these questions are too short to make a full episode about. So, we gather them up and periodically make a show. In this episode we will discuss old school refrigerants and what should EMS do before Haz-Mat gets there for a chemical suicide.
