General Awareness – Two Key Definitions:
Hazmat Employer• A company/person who utilizes one or
more employees to transport or cause to transport, hazardous materials in commerce, or
• One who represents, marks, certifies, sells, offers, reconditions, tests, repairs, or modifies containers, drums, or packaging for use in transporting hazardous materials.

General Awareness – Two Key Definitions:
Hazmat Employer (con’t)
This includes:
a. Owners and operator of vehicles that transport hazardous materials
b. Any department or agency of the United States
c. A State or political subdivision of a State
d. An Indian tribe that deals with hazardous material as a form of business.

General Awareness – Two Key Definitions:
Hazmat Employee• One who directly affects the safe
transportation of hazardous materials, either as a self-employed person or one who performs duties relating to hazardous materials as part of the job.
• This includes the owner/operator of a motor vehicle that transports hazardous materials in commerce.

Based on these definitions, workers who must be trained include those who:• Load or unload hazardous materials• Test, recondition, repair, modify, or mark
containers, drums or packaging used in transporting hazardous materials
• Prepare hazardous materials for transporting• Are responsible for the safe transporting of
hazardous materials (supervisors for example), or
• Operate a vehicle transporting hazardous materials.

General Awareness/Familiarization Training will:
• Increase your awareness of the purpose of the Hazardous Materials Regulations and of the hazard communication requirements
• Ensure that everyone involved in the transportation of hazardous materials uses uniform procedures.

Introduction
Part 172 Subpart H of the Hazardous Materials Regulations sets training requirements for individuals involved in all modes of transportation over-the-road, rail, aircraft, or vessel) of hazardous materials. The purpose is to ensure that hazmat employers train their hazmat employees regarding safe practices in the following areas:

Labeling of a Hazardous Material
Hazardous Material Warning Labels are designed and color-coded so that the hazards can be quickly recognized . Warning labels correspond to the placards that must appear on each bulk packaging, freight container, unit load device, transport vehicle, or rail car that contains a hazardous material. The labels must include both the hazards class and the division of hazard, if required, according to the Hazardous Materials Table. Unless excepted, all material packages must be labeled.
![Page 120: Hazard Communication and General Awareness](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681422b550346895dae412d/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
Labeling of a Hazardous Material
Warning label codes can be found in column 6 of the Hazardous Materials Table. Use the Label Substitution Table to identify the label name for the codes(s) listed in Column 6.
• The first code listed is the primary hazard of the material
• Additional cods indicate subsidiary hazoard(s).
![Page 121: Hazard Communication and General Awareness](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681422b550346895dae412d/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
PERFORMANCE ORIENTED PACKAGING
The proper packaging of hazardous materials is crucial to the safety of everyone involved in their handling and transport.
![Page 122: Hazard Communication and General Awareness](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681422b550346895dae412d/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
PERFORMANCE ORIENTED PACKAGING
A ‘performance orientated package’ must perform in a safe manner under normal transport conditions.
The requirements refer to:• bulk and non-bulk packagings• New and reused packagings• Specifications and non-specification
packaging.
![Page 123: Hazard Communication and General Awareness](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681422b550346895dae412d/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
PERFORMANCE ORIENTED PACKAGING
Each hazmat package must be designed and manufactured so that when it is filled to its limits, closed, and under normal transportation conditions:
• there will be no identifiable release of hazardous materials
• There will be no reduction in package effectiveness (i.e. impact resistance, strength) due to variations in temperature
• There will be no mixture of gases/vapors in the package that could reduce package effectiveness.
![Page 124: Hazard Communication and General Awareness](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681422b550346895dae412d/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
PERFORMANCE ORIENTED PACKAGING
Packagings cannot be used for hazardous material transportation unless they:
a. Meet the above requirements
b. Are properly marked with ID numbers and special requirements
c. Are tested and approved prior to use
d. Have a manufacturer’s marke on each package.
![Page 125: Hazard Communication and General Awareness](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681422b550346895dae412d/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
Proper Loading and Storage Techniques
The responsibility for complying with the provision for loading, storage, and transportation of hazardous material generally lies with the carrier.
Specific information on loading and storing hazardous material containers for all modes of transportation is located in the Hazardous Materials Regulations Part 177, Carriage by Public Highway, Subpart B: Loading and unloading; specifies loading and storing requirements for motor vehicles.
![Page 126: Hazard Communication and General Awareness](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681422b550346895dae412d/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
Proper Loading and Storage Techniques
Certain hazardous materials cannot be carried on the same load. For example, cyanides or cyanide mixtures cannot be transported with acids. A Segregation Table provides a reference for segregating certain hazardous materials.
![Page 127: Hazard Communication and General Awareness](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681422b550346895dae412d/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
Proper Placarding
Hazmat placards are similar to the shape, color and design of hazmat warning labels. They serve the following functions:
• To alert the public to the potential dangers of hazardous materials
• To guide emergency personnel in their actions during a hazmat incident.
![Page 128: Hazard Communication and General Awareness](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681422b550346895dae412d/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)
Proper Placarding
Unless excepted, each bulk packaging, freight container, unit load device, transport vehicle or rail car containing any quantity of a hazardous material must be placarded on each side and each end with the placards specified in Part 172. Subpart F.
![Page 129: Hazard Communication and General Awareness](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681422b550346895dae412d/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
Dealing with a Hazmat Emergency
Knowing how to respond to an hazmat emergency is crucial. At a minimum this section refers to having emergency response information available at all times during the handling and transportation of a hazardous material.
![Page 130: Hazard Communication and General Awareness](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681422b550346895dae412d/html5/thumbnails/130.jpg)
Dealing with a Hazmat Emergency
This information must include:• The basic description and technical name
of the hazardous material• Immediate hazards to health• Risks of fire and exposure• Immediate precautions to be taken in the
event of an incident/accident• initial methods for handling spills or leaks in
the absence of fire• preliminary first and measures• an emergency response phone number
![Page 131: Hazard Communication and General Awareness](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681422b550346895dae412d/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)
Dealing with a Hazmat Emergency
These items must be printed in English and available away from the package containing the hazardous materials, for example on the shipping paper, the North American Emergency Response Guide book, or Material Safety Data Sheets.
