15
Function-specific training
  • is intended to teach the necessary knowledge,
    skills and abilities for an individual's job

16
Safety training
  • provides information concerning the hazards posed
    by materials in the workplace and personal

    designed to enhance transportation security.
  • New hazmat employees must receive this training
    within 90 days of employment.

18
In-depth security training
  • In addition to security awareness training,
    hazmat employees of employers that are required

    plans to address security
  • risks related to the transportation of
    hazardous materials in commerce.
  • Applicability. By September 25, 2003, each person
    who offers for transportation in commerce or

172.802 Components of a security plan
  • The security plan must include an
    assessment of possible transportation security
    risks for shipments of the hazardous materials
    listed in 172.800 and appropriate measures to
    address the assessed risks. Specific measures put
    into place by the plan may vary commensurate with
    the level of threat at a particular time. At a
    minimum, a security plan must include the
    following elements
  • (a)(1) Personnel security. Measures to confirm
    information provided by job applicants hired for
    positions that involve access to and handling of
    the hazardous materials covered by the security
    plan. Such confirmation system must be consistent
    with applicable Federal and State laws and
    requirements concerning employment practices and
    individual privacy.
  • (a)(2) Unauthorized access. Measures to address
    the assessed risk that unauthorized persons may
    gain access to the hazardous materials covered by
    the security plan or transport conveyances being
    prepared for transportation of the hazardous
    materials covered by the security plan.
  • (a)(3) En route security. Measures to address the
    assessed security risks of shipments of hazardous
    materials covered by the security plan en route
    from origin to destination, including shipments
    stored incidental to movement.
  • (b) The security plan must be in writing and must
    be retained for as long as it remains in effect.
    Copies of the security plan, or portions thereof,
    must be available to the employees who are
    responsible for implementing it, consistent with
    personnel security clearance or background
    investigation restrictions and a demonstrated
    need to know. The security plan must be revised
    and updated as necessary to reflect changing
    circumstances. When the security plan is updated
    or revised, all copies of the plan must be
    maintained as of the date of the most recent
    revision.68 FR 14521, Mar 25, 2003
