| Murray Hill & New Providence, N. J., July 13, 2010 - Linde North America will sponsor an industrial gases Safety Day event at the DuBois campus of the Pennsylvania State University in DuBois, Pennsylvania. Linde customers, fire departments, and other emergency responders are invited to attend the event, which will focus on cryogenic and compressed gas safety. The event is scheduled for Wednesday, July 21, 2010 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Linde North America is a member of The Linde Group, a world leading global gases and engineering company.
“As part of our Responsible Care program, we regularly train customers, fire departments, emergency management agencies and others on the safety issues involved in the use and handling of industrial gases,” said Ray Serafini, account manager for Linde North America. “DuBois is a perfect venue for the Safety Day because of the high concentration of industrial gas users in the area,” Serafini said.
In the morning session, Linde technical experts will discuss the properties, characteristics and potential hazards of industrial gases. The afternoon session will feature hands-on training to emphasize the properties of the gases. Local fire departments will be on hand to participate in incident control procedures involving cryogenic gases.
