I'm pleased to announce that Keene State College will host the first New England States Ammonia Safety Day on Friday October 25, 2019. The event is being organized by Ammonia Safety & Training Institute (https://ammonia-safety.com/) and will cover topics such as

• Strengthen the Tripod: Industry, Government, and Public Safety
• Value of prevention, protection, and preparedness
• Understand hazards, mitigate risks, and prepare for threats
• Evacuation, decontamination, and medical care
• Valve and pipeline problems that lead to emergency events
• Engaging emergency shutdown procedures
• Command and control plan
• Integrating Industrial response with public safety command
• Pre-entry hazard assessment
• Terminating command, initiating recovery, and restart
• Basic refrigeration cycle components
• Lessons learned from accidents and emergency events

The principles discussed will apply to industrial chemical safety in general as well as ammonia safety in particular. There is no registration cost; a detailed agenda and information for registering will be available soon.

Let me know if you have any questions about this.
