DOT Hazmat Security Awareness Training DVD

Description

In an effort to fight terrorism and improve the security of hazardous materials being shipped, the Department of Transportation has added three major security requirements to their HAZMAT regulations. Companies that handle hazardous materials must develop a “Security Plan” and give their employees “Security Awareness” and “In-Depth Security” training.

The program “Safety Training for Handling and Transporting Hazardous Materials” focuses on employees who handle hazardous materials. The video/DVD program in this kit makes employees aware of the hazards associated with the materials they handle… and shows them how to secure and work with these materials safely. The posters in the kit emphasize the importance of using appropriate personal protective equipment when working with hazardous chemicals.
