It’s Time to Add a Red Section to the DOT ERG
By Gary Sharp The Emergency Response Guidebook needs a new “red section” added to provide more detailed information on hazardous materials that can suffer some manner of an explosion or energetic reaction such as detonations, deflagrations, polymerizations, BLEVEs, heat-induced-tears, and other sudden energetic reactions. Numerous case studies have shown that explosions are a leading cause

Tech Tip – Thermal Model at Natural Gas Leaks
When operating at the scene of a Natural Gas leak from a damaged pipe, you can use CERES to model the thermal radiation (heat) if the leaking Natural Gas were to ignite. This will assist in safely positioning response resources and planning for which exposures to protect. https://www.vlahi.com #CERES #TechTip #methane

TECH TIP: The Tubes app allows you to record your Drager tube readings, including the date, time, and your GPS location.
You can use the camera on the Smartphone or tablet to read the part number and batch barcodes off the Drager tube package. The app brings up a photo of a unused and a “positive” tube for comparison. iOS App Here: https://apple.co/393CiOA #TechTip #Drager #dragertubes #AirMonitoring
