The recent ammonium nitrate warehouse explosion in Beirut is just one in a series of tragic catastrophic incidents related to storing, transporting, and processing hazardous materials. Proper classification of the hazards of these materials is important to identify and understand how these materials should be handled throughout the supply chain to minimize the potential for harm to workers, the community and emergency responders.
This webinar will highlight hazardous materials case studies where improper classification or uncontrolled hazards led to an event in an organization’s supply chain. It will summarize UN/DOT requirements for the classification of hazardous materials, explain how to navigate the differences between hazard classes, and how this information impacts your facility's shipping, warehousing, and processing operations. It will also offer common ""watch out"" topics that can be found during a walk-through or audit, and how to address related safety concerns."
