Emergency Procedures
NOTE: In the event of a natural disaster in which major structural damage is sustained it is advisable to turn off hazardous utilities: electricity and natural gas are of primary concern. Chlorine gas systems at the pool or in laboratories should not be overlooked. Evacuate the immediate area and/or buildings. Leaking chlorine gas will form a hazy cloud which may drift from one area to another. This cloud should be avoided and any work done in its vicinity should be with the safety of an approved air-pack.
