The Toronto West CAER
committee, formed in 1986, is a voluntary association with representation
from chemical manufacturers, users and government agencies.
We work to help members
and others with safe practices and with emergency preparedness. The
Committee worked with the former City of Etobicoke on the development
of its Emergency Plan which was put in place in 1991. This plan,
approved by the City Council, details the responsibilities and actions
various agencies, both municipal and others, will take in the event
of a real emergency. A practice exercise is run every year.
Membership is open to
all companies involved in the handling or storage of chemicals within
Toronto who share in the goals of the Toronto West CAER Committee.
