This 8-hour instructor led course has been developed to educate emergency responders on freight rail
car incidents involving hazardous materials. As more and more rail traffic transports cargo, including
hazardous materials, it is critical that emergency responders are well trained. The increase in traffic adds
to the already present risk of transportation incidents involving hazardous cargo. In addition, since a
majority of the rail traffic travels through rural America, it is important that the often times resource limited
rural responder community become educated about the dangers and unique hazards presented with rail
cars. The information covered in this course will enhance the ability of emergency responders, especially
rural emergency responders, to help mitigate a rail car incident by determining complexity and
understanding resources needed to remediate the emergency.
