Transportation of raw materials to depots and plants, by oil tankers, natural gas pipelines, barges, trains, and trucks, can create hazards. Another set of transportation hazards is posed by chemical intermediates (produced in one plant and transported to another plant for further processing) and industrial wastes. Sometimes, they travel past crowded urban areas, pristine beaches, and harbor tunnels. The hazards of oil spills on beaches by tankers are well known, and so are the instances of ruptures and breaks in oil and natural gas pipelines, which produce fire and pollution hazards. Trains and trucks can overturn in centers of habitation, and can lead to flames and explosions, as well as toxic hazards to the community. Toxic chemicals are barred from being trucked in tunnels under harbors and rivers. The storage of raw material and intermediates at plants or...

This steuidard requires labels for all containers, placards for areas and buildings and a MSDS available in the work place. It briefly refers to hazard training for employees but does not present a program to accomplish this portion of the standard. In that sense this standard falls short of being a complete communication system. In spite of this, it remains a good workable compromise between a hazard alert system such as NFPA 704 and the LAPI-based ANSI system which relies primarily upon worker-oriented label statements. 

Methods of controlling employee exposures. These controls include administrative procedures, location and proximity, time periods away from the hazard, training in work practices to avoid the hazard, work assignments, etc. See also Control Methods or Technology Engineering Controls.

Failure to train employees in hazard recognition and the proper use of the wood shoring may have contributed to their deaths. Or, the training, if it was given, was inadequate. The failure to properly erect and brace framework to support loads and to brace tiered shoring resulted in eight fatalities. Without hazard training the employees didn t reahze the framework was improperly constructed. 

Employees must be trained to understand the hazards they could encounter in the confined space, along with the methods used to control these hazards, and recognition of signs, symptoms, and characteristic effect of exposure to these hazards. Training is required under 1926.1208(d) for PROS, 1926.1216(b)(2) for CASA, and 1926.1217(b) for IHCS.

These measures provide a good method of defining specific hazard training. Hazards that employees are exposed to should be systematically identified and evaluated. Evaluating other requirements that may impose additional and specific requirements for hazard identification and assessment is also important.
