For Your Information
Safety Training Tip: Don’t Pick “E”
If you are working on a highly energetic reaction, and you need to evacuate, what should you do?
Please choose the best answer:
- Bring it with you
- Do nothing
- Run away
- Stabilize the reaction
- Stay and work, I am immune to emergencies
You are not immune to completing the required VCEA safety training by April 1, so don’t make this an emergency!
