Chemical incident management: local authority environmental health practitioners
Chemical incident management: local authority environmental health practitioners. Edited by R FAIRMAN, V MURRAY, A KIRKWOOD, P SAUNDERS. (Pp 153; £40.00.) 2001. London: The Stationery Office. ISBN 0 11 322 1215This is the fourth volume in the chemical incident management series. Like its predecessors it is a slim, well produced paperback that provides a wealth of information on how to plan for (and thus avoid), manage, and recover from a chemical incident. The style is terse and much use is made of lists and diagrams to show desirable organisational structures and decision pathways.
Division into prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery takes
the reader through the process, and a complicated process it is. The
book requires a good deal of local authorities or, rather, it points
out that a great deal is required from them. For an enthusiast this
will be familiar territory
