Discussion Post: Hazardous Materials Safety
Does the community in which you live have a Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC)? Share with the class what you find, whether it is a yes or no response. If there is an LEPC, what types of organizations do the members come from? If there is no LEPC, what types of organizations might the members be from if one is to form?
As you respond to your classmates, discuss who is allowed to attend their meetings. Do you think your community's LEPC committee is effective? How so, or why not?
The response should include a reference list. Using double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
