through a joint operating agreement between the County of Lancaster and
the Lancaster County Career and Technology Center. In addition, the Lancaster
County Fireman’s Association acts as a partner in the facility.

NIOSH
Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards (NPG)
The NPG is intended as a source of general industrial hygiene information
on several hundred chemicals/classes for workers, employers, and occupational
health professionals. The NPG does not contain an analysis of all pertinent
data, rather it presents key information and data in abbreviated or tabular
form for chemicals or substance groupings (e.g. cyanides, fluorides, manganese
compounds) that are found in the work environment. The information found
in the NPG should help users recognize and control occupational chemical
hazards. The latest printed edition of the NIOSH Pocket Guide is dated
February 2004 (green cover, NIOSH Publication No. 97-140, third printing
with minor changes) and contains information on 677 chemicals or substance
groupings. Printed copies are available from NIOSH, the National Technical
Information Service (NTIS), or the Government Printing Office (GPO).

Michigan State University (Emergency Response Solutions), in conjunction
with Industrial Safety Consultants, Inc., has developed several online
Awareness Level training programs for public and private sector emergency
responders.
MSU is offering some of these programs for a limited time at no cost.
Some of these programs can be used for required refresher training. Funding
for these programs is generated through a federal grant. Michigan State
University will provide electronic certificates available for printing
to those who complete each course with a passing grade. A representative
from your employer will need to provide a signature on the certificate
for proper documentation.
