Intermodal Containers DVD
Today, more than four million intermodal containers
are routinely used to ship both hazardous and
non-hazardous materials throughout the world. This
increasing utilization of intermodal containers has
also created new problems for public safety and
industrial emergency response personnel.
This text is designed to provide emergency response personnel with background information, general procedures and response guidelines to be followed when operating at incidents involving intermodal containers. It provides container specific information to complement the incident management guidelines from the textbook, Hazardous Materials: Managing the Incident (3rd edition). Specific topics include design and construction features, normal handling and operational concerns, and emergency response issues specific to each mode of transportation. The primary target audience includes Hazardous Materials Technicians, Specialist Employees, and the On-Scene Incident Commander.
