The caller receives immediate guidance, if additional on-scene support is needed, ChemTel will contact Hazmat Response Teams, and with client authorization, dispatch them to the site. In addition, our responders, if required, will conference call with the Emergency Medical Personnel on scene, as well as hospital personnel, and send MSDS’s (via email or facsimile) to the appropriate parties. ChemTel strives to handle all calls without client involvement. However, if desired or appropriate, company representatives can be contacted for additional information and/or assistance.
