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.
