There are, generally speaking, a number of precautions that must be observed when an accident involving, or presumed to involve, hazardous materials takes place. If it were not for the complexity and danger from multiple hazards, we would not need to emphasize that in any major transportation accident the ER team usually can find sufficient information on the scene to take logical action.

The success of treating and drying wood to a large extent depends on the timeliness and care with which work is carried out on wood treating plots.

In the spring of 1955, the Defense Department foresaw the start of experimentation with significant quantities of liquid hydrogen at many facilities in the California area, They therefore started a program to make available this, then rather unusual fluid., The Stearns-Roger Baker sfield Plant is the result (see Fig. 1). This was to be a small, hastily built plant that would supply liquid para-hydrogen to users in the area in moderate amounts (100–6000 gal) for about one year, A much larger plant was to have been put in operation at the end of a year, replacing the first. Baker sfield started limited production in November, 1957 and full production in January, 1958 and is still in operation, Most of this time it has been producing at a monthly rate above the rated design capacity, (Design capacity is still classified.) At present, the plans for this plant are not fixed; it may be operated for several more years.
