HAZMAT Transportation Awareness (US)

Have you ever seen a story on the news about a huge oil spill or an explosive highway collision involving a tanker truck? Incidents like those are big news because they put our lives, environment and communities in danger. What you DON'T see on the news, however, is what people like you do every day to PREVENT these types of incidents. SAFELY handling hazardous materials and getting them to their destinations is why the U.S. Department of Transportation requires hazardous materials training.
