What do your colleagues say about CHEMTREC?
“For more than 20 years, Cytec Industries, Inc. has had a productive and rewarding relationship with CHEMTREC. Several years ago, as a result of organizational changes and the desire improve the quality and reliability of Cytec’s Emergency Response and Incident Management (E.R.I.M.) system we sought to outsource our internal emergency response dispatch function. We naturally looked to CHEMTREC to fulfill that function.
Now, when CHEMTREC receives an emergency call involving Cytec products, they not only perform the basic response functions they have perfected over the years, they also execute Cytec protocols that bring together the appropriate Cytec Regional Response Center, Cytec’s corporate medical staff and, if necessary, Cytec’s Crisis Management Team. This allows Cytec E.R.I.M. responders to focus on the problem at hand rather than divert those resources to incident dispatch and communication functions.
We look forward to a continuing relationship for many years to come.”
