The HSA professional staff is led by Mr. Fred Bolton and Mr. Dave Volz, both former researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory. These men together bring more than 45 years of HazMat science and HazMat response experience to our work. HSA employs other skilled staff, and can also draw on the resources of TMC, its parent company, for professional support in science, technology, and other disciplines. The result is a solid team combining practical, hands-on experience with state-of-the-art technology to enhance HazMat safety .
