Hudson is Manager of Safety and Emergency Preparedness at PCR Chemicals a small chemical manufacturing company that focuses on organosilicone and organofluorine chemistry. We make a lot of silicone intermediates such as the products in shampoo that make your hair shine silicones that are beta blockers in pharmaceuticals and a silicone that coats every Intel processor chip. We ve developed a drug called 5 Flurouracell that is a basic chemotherapy building block and we manufacture specialty heavy fluids used in gyroscopes for the . Department of Defense.

We have had incidents here one in 1991 and one in 1994 which prompted us to coordinate an emergency response team as a first response team for incidents at the plant.

We can now make the initial response and keep the situation under control until the Gainesville Fire and Rescue gets here to help us out. As a result of the 94 incident we purchased an industrial foam pumper with 1000 gallons of foam aboard which gives us a capability not only to fight a fire but to suppress vapors. Many of our products are so toxic that this unit has really helped us with vapor suppression. On June 17 1994 a release of trichlorosilane at PCR resulted in the evacuation
