Dear Sirs,

I have been involved in hazardous materials response for 18 years and during this time I have seen a tremendous advancement in technology and change in hazardous materials response. Your product is one of the best changes I have personally witnessed and more importantly used in the area of hazmat tech-reference specialist. Your Hazmaster software has made the research component of our job easier by having a software program that is user friendly, accurate and quick. It combines information and data on chemical research, site operations, and ppe to name a few into one powerful database.

We have used your software on numerous hazardous materials responses in Boulder County and the results were, well impressive. The software assisted us in developing a site operations plan, chemical research, and PPe and medical symptoms of exposed victims. The real testimonial for me comes from the other members of our team who use hazmaster and speak highly of its capabilities. The real test for us was how the software performed on an unknown chemical release. We utilized the information from the bystanders describing the physical properties of the chemical. We put our team chemist on the Hazmaster and from his work using the hazmaster software he was able to provide me information about possible chemicals involved. I as the hazmat group supervisor was able to make better decisions on how to set up the scene and estimate possible outcomes. When our entry team monitored the atmosphere and when hazcat was completed the exact chemical listed in the Hasmaster ended being the one released.

Hazmaster software has proven itself in the field to our hazmat team in its reliability, easy of use under pressure situations, and accuracy. To put it simply hasmaster is a great product!
