This review is from: Emergency Care For Hazardous Materials Exposure, 2e (Paperback)

We use multiple copies of this every year for training personnel who treat hazardous materials exposed personnel. We find it useful in our decontamination training, hazmedic and toxmedic training. A good resource and functions similar to an Emergency Response Guidebook.
