Rail Car Incident Response for Crude, Ethanol, and Other Flammable Liquids training workshop is developed for the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (DOT PHMSA). This workshop educates emergency responders on freight rail car incidents involving hazardous materials, specifically crude oil, ethanol, and other flammable liquids.

As more and more rail traffic transports cargo, including hazardous materials, the responder community must fully understand the dangers and unique hazards presented with rail cars carrying these commodities. This free 8-hour training workshop improves the emergency responder’s ability to assess the scene of a rail car incident, and understand the resources needed to remediate the emergency situation, including how the railroad will play a critical role in the response.
