Communities by depot receive antidote
Oregon hospitals, clinics, and
emergency medical technicians
(EMTs) in communities near the
Umatilla Army Depot will soon
have emergency antidote kits to
treat people who have been
exposed
to
nerve
agent,
according to a news release from
the Morrow County Emergency
Management public information
office.
The kits would be used in the
unlikely event of an accident
involving chemical weapons
stored at the depot near
Hermiston, said the release.
Eventually, all medical facilities
in Morrow and Umatilla counties
will be fully stocked with the
kits, called Mark I auto-injectors.
Oregon State's Health Division's
Jan Glarum says, "This is a
significant amount of antidote
that will be immediately
available, and we're one giant
step closer to meeting the needs
of our potential patients."
Glarum says 480 antidote kits
are being stored by Good
Shepherd
Hospital,
the
Hermiston Fire Department and
Morrow County Ambulance.
Local medical experts will help
tram EMTs, doctors, and nurses
to use the antidote kits. The
training will also include
information on symptoms of
nerve agent exposure and
treatment techniques.
The medical staff at Good
Shepherd
already
receives
training
on
use
of
""autoinjectors"" on a regular
basis. The auto-injectors must be
used in accordance with current
Board of Medical Examiner,
Scope of Practice rules. "The
antidote kits wo@t
be distributed to the individual
ambulances and clinics until
medical personnel
receive the training, but the kits
will be in the area in the remote
chance they're needed before
people receive the training," says
Glarum.
A smaller number of kits are
being held by the Health
Division for distribution to
agencies as future training takes
place.
This would include
medical agencies that would
assist with the local emergency
response.
The Oregon State
Police have arranged to quickly
fly in the additional antidote kits
if they're needed.
A study by the Health Division
on how many injuries would be
expected in a large-scale depot
accident predicted 30 severe
nerve agent exposure cases.
Glarum says, "for every severe
patient, we would expect to see
30 people with complaints
ranging from moderate exposure
to no exposure at all. And all
would be very worried and need
medical attention."
Glarum says that these patient
numbers were compared with
actual patient numbers in the
Tokyo subway nerve gas release
two years ago and the Health
Division numbers were found to
be accurate.
Morrow' County Emergency
Manager Casey Beard says he
appreciates the ongoing efforts of
the Health Division to prepare
local communities for a depot
emergency.
Beard says, ’ I
particularly appreciate the efforts
of Jan Glarum, who continues to
provide
support for first
responders
and
emergency
workers in the county."

Dress for safety
during harvest
Hazards on the farm are just as
great as those in a factory. Farm
workers need to dress safely.
That may mean simply tucking in
pant legs or fastening a jacket,
points out Carol Michael, Oregon
State University Extension agent
in Morrow and Umatilla
counties.
Today's farm clothing is tough
and durable. Blends of cotton
and polyester or nylon are even
stronger than cotton denim.
These strong materials can pull a
person right into powerful, fast-
moving farm machinery.
Avoid clothing hazards that can
lead to accidents. Consider these
suggestions
from
OSU
Extension:
-Wear clothes that fit close to
your body so they stay with you
as you move around.
-Select jackets and shirts that
have rib knit cuffs and hems.
Fasten all shirt and jacket cuffs.
Do not roll back cuffs.
-Avoid clothing with hood or
waistline drawstrings that can
hang down and get caught in
machinery. If you have a jacket
with a drawstring, remove the
string.
-Select clothing with quick-
release fasteners, like snaps
Snaps may open-and set you
free-faster than zippers if your
clothing catches in machinery.
-Remove hammer loops from
pants, do not wear long scarves
or jewelry, and keep long hair
tied back, braided, or tucked
securely under a cap or hat
These items can catch easily in
pulleys, gears, augers and other
equipment.
How you wear your clothes
also is important to your safety.
An open jacket front that hangs
loose, away from your body,
could get caught in equipment.
A dangling sweatshirt hood could
get tangled in machinery and
strangle you.
Take your jacket off if you get
too warm.
Do not wear it
hanging open. If you need to
wear a sweatshirt but not the
hood, tuck the hood under your
shirt or jacket so it will not flop
around.
Take time to dress safely for
harvest.
