“I already knew CHEMTREC’s emergency communication network worked efficiently; as Head of Distribution Safety and Services for Bayer MaterialScience LLC, I have handled many calls from CHEMTREC. But three years ago, even I was surprised when my phone rang with CHEMTREC on the line.
"You see, I was in a tree stand, perched precariously on a remote mountainside while deer hunting. CHEMTREC had taken a ship-to-shore call from a ship bound for Puerto Rico, patched it through its own communication system, and relayed the call to me on my phone. Working through the CHEMTREC Emergency Service Specialist, I was able to handle the shipboard chemical spill right there from the tree stand. That’s CHEMTREC service in its finest hour."
