Hazardous Materials Transportation – Spill Containment Options

Not all hazardous materials issues are confined solely to the jobsite itself. Risk managers are often called upon to consult with and advise logistics personnel with regards to the safe transportation of chemicals and gases that pose a danger to those around them should they be mishandled or should an accident occur. While training of those who are called upon to interact with these materials while they are being transported is an important part of reducing the risks involved, the use of the proper safety equipment can also help to create a much safer process for all involved.
