Types of hazmat transportation ✔✔land (highway/rail) sea air Define hazmat ✔✔any material or substance capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property when transported. What training does the HAZMAT Familiarization and Safety in Transportation course provide? ✔✔applicability and responsibility emergency response general awareness/familiarization security awareness What if the function of a DD Form 626? ✔✔*Used by the Quality Assurance Specialist- Ammunition Surveillance (QASAS) or vehicle inspector to verify driver documentation and to inspect vehicles before and immediately after they are loaded with HAZMAT *Driver keeps a copy of the form with the shipping papers *Form is used by the receiving ASP or depot for inspection before unloading What do you think the inspector looks for during the vehicle inspection? ✔✔driver's license vehicle's operating condition (brakes, tires, windshield wiper, tires, mirrors, etc.)
Who inspects the vehicle? ✔✔Specifically trained personnel will inspect the vehicle What are the vehicle requirements to pass inspection? ✔✔DD Form 626 lists the requirements for a vehicle to pass inspection How many times is the vehicle inspected? ✔✔Before it's loaded After it's loaded Before it's unloaded What happens if the vehicle does not pass inspection? ✔✔The vehicle is not loaded until it is repaired or another vehicle (that can pass inspection) is provided Which section of DD Form 626 may be used as a guide to pre-inspect the vehicle before leaving the motor pool? ✔✔Section II What are the different hazard classes? ✔✔Hazard class: is a grouping of hazardous materials based on their similar characteristics (gas, liquid, solid) 9 classes: Class 1 Explosives Class 2 Gases (Acetylene and oxygen) Class 3 Flammable liquids (Acetone) Class 4 Flammable Solids, Spontaneously Combustible, or Water Reactive (MRE heater on fire)
What could happen when hazardous materials that react dangerously when in contact with each other are transported together? ✔✔Possible Hazards Because of the nature of hazardous materials, if they come in contact with each other, they are capable of producing other hazards i.e. when bleach and ammonia come in contact with each other, they produce a toxic vapor (which is an inhalation hazard). Hazard Class Division ✔✔Some hazard classes are separated into divisions. These divisions identify the different types of hazard within a hazard class. For example, HC 1 (explosives) can have hazards such as fragmentation or fire in the addition to exploding Learn more HC Division ✔✔HC 1 1.1 Mass explosion hazard (bombs, 155 projectile) 1.2 Fragmentation hazard (some grenades and 105mm cartridges) 1.3 Fire hazard (propellant, artillery charges) 1.4 Minor explosion hazard (small arms ammunition, smoke grenades) 1.5 Very intensive explosives (blasting agents) 1.6 Extremely intensive explosives (no mass explosive hazard) HC 2.1 Flammable gases (acetylene, butane, hydrogen) 2.2 Non-flammable, non-poisonous compressed gases (helium, nitrogen, and neon) 2.3 Gases poisonous by inhalation (chlorine, ammonia anhydrous, carbon monoxide) HC 3
Materials that ignite easily. This is due to flash point. A flash point is the temperature at which a material gives off enough vapor to ignite. (fuel aviation turbine engine (JP-8), gasoline, and some alcohol beverages) HC 4 4.1 Flammable solids that catch fire easily (safety or strike anywhere matches) 4.2 Spontaneously combustible materials that can catch fire without a separate heat source (charcoal briquettes, linseed oil) 4.3 Dangerous when wet materials (materials that can explode or emit flammable gas when in contact with water) i.e. potassium, sodium, MRE heaters HC 5 5.1 Oxidizer: materials that does not burn on its own, but gives off oxygen, which could cause other materials to burn i.e. ammonium nitrate fertilizer, hydrogen peroxide 5.2 Organic peroxide (liquid or solid) that contain oxygen i.e. polyester resin kits used to patch vehicle tires or repair boats HC 6 6.1 Poisonous materials (liquid or solid) so toxic to humans that it is a hazard to health i.e. potassium cyanide, arsenic 6.2 Infectious substances: an organism that causes virus or infection in humans or animals i.e. medical waste, virus cultures HC 7 A radioactive material is any material containing unstable isotopes I.e. uranium, plutonium, thorium
Contractor Summary (identifies who to contact if you have questions about the material or the MSDS) Item Description Information: provides the material's common name (The item name is one of the markings on the exterior of a package. It identifies the package contents.) Ingredients Health Hazard Data Fire and Explosion Hazard Information Physical/Chemical Properties Reactivity Data Detail DOT Information: The Detail DOT Information FOR LAND TRANSPORTATION section provides the material's basic description. Detail IMO Information Global Harmonization System ✔✔a SDS serves the same function as a MSDS. All SDS use the same style and format Basic Description ✔✔Identification number Proper shipping name (PSN) Hazard class(es) and division (if applicable) Packing group (if applicable) JHCS Data Sheet and Hazmat Documentation ✔✔Used for Hazard Class 1 materials JHCS Data Sheet 49 CFR Shipping Papers
Markings and Labels Placards Hazmat Table ✔✔Middle point between the Joint Hazard Classification System (JHCS) Data Sheet or MSDS/SDS and the Hazmat communication. MSDS/SDS or JHCS Data Sheet 49 CFR Hazmat Communication 49 Code of Federal Regulations ✔✔Federal law governing transportation. It identifies proper HAZMAT communication for: Marking Labeling Placarding Hazmat Table ✔✔Hazmat Certifiers use this table when preparing a hazardous material for transportation. With this table, a Certifier can: Prepare shipping papers Identify placard requirements Identify required package markings and labels ERG Information ✔✔The ERG points first responders to the most appropriate course of action for handling a Hazmat accident to protect people and property.
Public Safety: lists suggested safety precautions used to protect the public Emergency Response: describes special precautions in case of fire, spills, or chemical exposure. It also gives first aid procedures in case of exposure. how often do you need refresher training on Hazmat processes and procedures? ✔✔Because regulations and requirements change, the DTR 4500.9 R, paragraph D(2)(a) mandates you take refresher training every two years. This also includes local requirements, which may require retraining more often. Driving and Parking Rules ✔✔49 CFR, Parts 397.3 thru 397. Laws ✔✔397.2 Hazmat-loaded vehicles must follow state and local laws Attendance ✔✔397.5 a and c: Vehicle attendance (keeping the vehicle within the view of the driver) depends on the type of HAZMAT you transport. There are rules in place for all hazardous materials. For example, you cannot leave a vehicle unattended to eat in a restaurant. Parking ✔✔397.7 Parking requirements for a HAZMAT-loaded vehicle depend on the type of HAZMAT (e.g., explosives, corrosives, gases, etc.). Vehicles containing certain types of explosives must follow more strict rules than vehicles carrying other types of HAZMAT.
Fires ✔✔ 397 .11 Do not drive a vehicle containing HAZMAT near an open fire, such as a grass fire along a highway, if there is any danger to the vehicle and the contents. Do not park a vehicle containing HAZMAT within 300 ft of an open fire. Smoking ✔✔397.13 Never smoke or carry a lighted cigarette, cigar, or pipe on or within 25 ft of a vehicle containing HAZMAT. Fueling ✔✔397.15 When fueling a vehicle containing HAZMAT: Turn the engine off. Never lock the fuel lever and walk away; keep the pump in your hand.

(49 CFR, Part 397)
Ammunition (Section 5.13) Placards ✔✔A placard is a special sign on a transport vehicle or railcar. Its purpose is to communicate the hazards contained in the vehicle to first responders in the event of an accident. *Placards are required on all four sides of the railcar or motor vehicle containing the hazardous material. *More than one placard can be displayed, depending on the load. Hazmat security awareness ✔✔General awareness/familiarization: 49 CFR, 172.704(a)(1) Emergency response: 49 CFR, 172.704(a)(3) and 172.602(a)(1-7) Security awareness: 49 CFR, 172.704(a)(4).
