YAASD Committee
The Yuma Area Ammonia Safety Day (YAASD) has been developed to increase company and public awareness about the importance of preparing for chemical emergencies and to encourage companies and their employees to take action. Our mission is to provide educational opportunities for the awareness and the safe use of ammonia and other hazardous chemicals. We strive to achieve this goal by our educational events like the event in Yuma that we host annually.
