Delivery
people, utility workers, landscaping crews - anyone whose work takes them
into neighborhoods, apartment complexes and homes - needs to be aware of
possible Meth manufacturing.
Coming across a Meth
lab places you in instant danger. You may be exposed to toxic gases,
unstable/explosive chemicals, and chemical fires. You could experience
burns, collapsed lungs, and other injuries associated with contamination
and explosions without warning.
Meth scenes are
considered toxic waste sites and can cause serious environmental damage to
soil, ground water, drinking water, and buildings and structures, quickly
contaminating anyone that comes in contact with the waste material.
Learn the signs of a Meth lab, and make an action plan for your response
prior to needing it. Most importantly, remember that you can be
exposed to the toxic waste through inhalation or absorption - DO NOT touch
anything you believe may be a part of a Meth lab. Notify your
supervisor and law enforcement. And do not challenge anyone you have
reason to suspect is using Meth.
