One important method for identifying hazardous materials is through the use of container labels. From bottles and drums to trucks and railcars, labels and placards provide information about the contents of a container, as well as what to do and who to call in case of an emergency. Because this information is so critical for the safe handling and transporting of these potentially dangerous substances, several organizations have developed labeling and placarding systems to communicate to employees about a container’s contents.
- HazMat Training: Anti-Terrorism Training
Everyone involved in the transportation of hazardous materials plays a role in the nation’s security. Hazardous materials can pose a significant security threat should they fall into the wrong hands by theft, interception, detonation, or release of cargo. As a driver who transports placarded amounts of hazardous materials, you are required to implement your company’s plan to address security risks related to the transportation of hazardous materials in accordance with 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 172, Subpart I.
