Safety is Our #1 Objective

Protecting the public from hazardous materials accidents is our responsibility. Part of that mission is to ensure that first responders are trained and prepared for any emergency involving hazardous materials. We perform this vital service in several ways:

  • We conduct inspections at local businesses that handle hazardous materials to prevent spills and accidental releases.
  • We help business owners and managers find ways to comply with environmental safety laws and regulations.
  • We provide helpful compliance inspections, guidance, and education to protect employees, the public, and the environment.
  • We train and collaborate with first responder agencies by providing technical assistance and information regarding statewide standards.
