Title: Interesting stuff around my work today
Post by: DragonSpeed on January 27, 2005, 10:25:14 AM
Seems we had a small call in with EMT.... Oops.  Any of you guys Firemen or Paramedics?  What would you think about a call to a Lab?

News1130 made it sound like a Bopahl-like distaster occured  ::)  Guess they've got to keep listeners.

Official statement:
While testing a sample in the lab, a chemist started feeling ill.  They were removed from the area and the emergency response (911) was notified.  The person was sent to the hospital for observations.  A further two individuals, also working in the area were subsequently taken to the hospital for observation.  All three persons are doing fine with no apparent signs of ill effects.

The Hazardous Materials Response Team attended, surveyed the site and determined that there was no lasting concern.  The samples have since been quarantined and will be disposed of by a registered hazardous waste company.

For further information please direct your enquires......

I'm a network admin  ;D  I'm trying to keep the company name out of my private life, it helps keep me from getting fired if I say something that might be interpreted as applying to my company, which in turn could affect the financial view of the company's stability, and in turn could cause stock value loss... etc. etc. etc.
