In an effort to fight terrorism and improve the security of hazardous materials being shipped, the Department of Transportation has added three major security requirements to their HAZMAT regulations.

Companies that handle hazardous materials must develop a "Security Plan," and give their employees "Security Awareness" and "In-Depth Security" training.

MARCOM's training products on "DOT In-Depth HAZMAT Security" make employees aware of the risks associated with transporting hazardous materials and give them an understanding of their facility's HAZMAT Security Plan.

All of the products... the new "Micro-Learning" and full-length online courses as well as the DVDs and interactive CD courses... discuss topics that are integral to employees' understanding of these issues.

Topics covered include:

• The need for HAZMAT security training.
  
• The Security Plan
  
• Internal vulnerabilities
  
• Targeted materials
  
• Facility security
  
• Preparing to ship hazardous materials
  
• Shipping HAZMATs
  
• Tips to avoid hijacking
  
• Unloading hazardous material shipments
  
• Actions to take in the event of a security breach
