The goal of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters-National Labor College (IBT-NLC) Consortium Hazardous Materials Disaster Preparedness Training Program (HDPT) is to increase worker and community safety, and protect transportation infrastructure with respect to the shipment of hazardous materials from the nation's ports via trucks, rail cars and intermodal shipping containers. Background and Need for Transportation Worker Safety, Health and Security Training The federal government has placed on increased focus on the possibility of introducing WMDs or other hazardous materials into the U.S. through ship cargoes via shipping containers. The containers may be used by terrorists to smuggle nuclear, chemical or biological weapons into the U.S. "In 2007, more than 11 million ocean-going cargo containers were offloaded at U.S. ports. Facilitating the free flow of goods while ensuring that the containers do not pose a threat to homeland security ¿ whether by carrying WMDs or other dangerous materials ¿ remains one of the many challenges facing the Department of Homeland Security." (GAO: Supply Chain Security, March, 2008) The U.S. Maritime system consists of 300 sea and river ports with more than 3,700 cargo and passenger terminals and more than 1,000 harbor channels spread along thousands of miles of coast. Twenty-five US ports account for 98% of all container shipments. More than 9 million marine containers enter the ports each year, and a large container ship can carry more than 3,000 containers. Intermodal shipping containers may contain large quantities of hazardous materials, explosives, poisons and radioactive materials. Trucks or rail cars transporting these shipping containers could be hijacked for use in preparing a WMD, or the shipping container itself may be wired as a weapon. The transportation of hazardous materials creates a risk of emergencies that threaten the lives of workers and the public. Hazardous materials transportation is a potential target for terrorist attacks, and can injure and kill the people directly involved, and damage essential transportation infrastructure and the ports. The Brookings Institute Reports..."that a weapon of mass destruction shipped by container...could cause damage and disruption costing the economy as much as $1 trillion."(Protecting the American Homeland: A Preliminary Analysis, Brookings Institution Free Press) Accidentals hazardous materials transportation incidents injure and kill workers, and affect the surrounding communities. In 2008, 14,756 hazardous materials incidents were reported to DOT resulting in 145 serious injuries and 8 fatalities, with damages totaling $38,508,928 (DOT 2009). It is imperative that hazardous materials transportation workers who work at our nation's ports have adequate training. The training will provide them with the knowledge to identify and respond to security threats; identify and respond to an emergency release of hazardous materials; and protect themselves, co-workers and surrounding communities from contamination in the event of a hazardous materials situation.

国际卡车司机兄弟会-国家劳工学院（IBT-NLC）联合会危险材料备灾培训方案（HDPT）的目标是提高工人和社区的安全，保护运输基础设施，防止危险材料通过卡车、铁路汽车和多式联运从国家港口运输。 集装箱 运输工人安全、健康和安保培训的背景和需求 联邦政府已将更多的注意力放在通过集装箱将大规模杀伤性武器或其他危险材料通过船舶货物引入美国的可能性上。这些集装箱可能被恐怖分子用来向美国走私核武器、化学武器或生物武器。“2007年，超过1100万个远洋集装箱在美国港口卸货。促进货物的自由流动，同时确保集装箱不会对国土安全构成威胁-无论是通过携带大规模毁灭性武器还是其他危险材料-仍然是国土安全部面临的许多挑战之一。（GAO：Supply Chain Security，2008年3月） 美国的海事系统包括300个海港和河港，3,700多个货运和客运码头，1,000多个港口通道分布在沿着数千英里的海岸线上。25个美国港口占所有集装箱运输量的98%。每年有900多万个海运集装箱进入港口，一艘大型集装箱船可运载3,000多个集装箱。多式联运集装箱可能装有大量危险材料、爆炸物、毒药和放射性材料。运输这些集装箱的卡车或铁路汽车可能被劫持，用于制造大规模毁灭性武器，或者集装箱本身可能被用作武器。 危险材料的运输造成了紧急情况的风险，威胁到工人和公众的生命。危险材料的运输是恐怖主义袭击的潜在目标，可能造成直接相关人员伤亡，并破坏重要的运输基础设施和港口。布鲁金斯研究所报告.“一个集装箱运送的大规模杀伤性武器...可能会造成破坏和中断，造成高达1万亿美元的经济损失。“（《保护美国本土：初步分析》，布鲁金斯学会自由出版社） 危险品运输事故造成工人伤亡，并影响周边社区。2008年，向交通部报告了14，756起危险材料事故，造成145人重伤，8人死亡，损失总额为38，508，928美元（交通部，2009年）。 在我国港口工作的危险品运输工人必须 有足够的训练。培训将为他们提供识别和应对安全威胁的知识;识别和应对危险材料的紧急释放;以及保护自己，同事和周围社区免受 在危险材料情况下的污染。
