First response at the awareness level includes primary <br />identification, isolation, containment, neutralization (when possible) and <br />appropriate initial clean up procedures based on the type and amount of <br />chemical, level of risk, time of day/week, and whether or not personal <br />injury has occurred, and will be assisted by departmental staff for <br />identification and obtainment of Material Safety Data Sheets. <br />Fresno Revision dates: 09/12/96, 6/25/98, 3/30/00, 8/1/01,Stockton revision date 07/22/02, <br />09/19/02, 3/20/03,02/12/04, 07/06 <br />
