Information Resources Center Spotlight: Poison.Org

"My wife and I turned our heads for just a second and there she was, our daughter had spit out one of those silicon fresheners".  Those are the words of GLP Security Solutions CEO Patrick Massengale.  Massengale states, that incident was one of the scariest moments of his life.  This is one reason GLP has placed the invaluable resources available from www.poison.org through a link from it's website www.glpsecurity.com.  By the way the little toddler was just fine.  Poison Control informed the Massengale's that their emergency was one of the most frequently handled concerns the center receives on a daily basis.  But some concerns are more dangerous and should be handled imperatively.  There are improper uses of medications, chemical spills at home and in the work place, and various choking hazards in the path of just about every small child anywhere.  It appears that Poison.Org has covered all of the scenarios. 

Poison.Org has built their information resources accessibility around three major points:
1). They save lives and reduce illness from poisonings.
2). They reduce health care costs.
3). They prevent poisonings.

With Poison Control Centers throughout the U.S., and with information also available in Spanish it is important that all households and workplaces have access to both their local PCC, and Poison.Org.  According to Poison.Org quick action can save a life.  They state that half of poisoning emergencies involve children, but that is not where their assistance stops.  They also provide immediate assistance for emergencies involving suicide attempts, medication errors, and get this, even pet poisonings.  The good news is that an astounding 67% of all emergency calls are treated safely right on the phone. 

Here is a comforting fact involving http://www.poison.org/, they are ambassadors of change.  The center tracks and monitors every occurrence, so in the case of faulty manufacturing of a product, their findings have changed policies, and even had products discontinued and or banned.  If you need further information or if we can be of service to you, please contact us at www.glpsecurity.com.  Thank you to Poison.Org for their assistance.
