Alert Driving

Understanding the importance of being an alert driver can mean the

difference between life and death. Learn how to observe conditions

around you, anticipate hazardous situations, and react to avoid hazards

with our Alert Driving course. Our course discusses driving at safe speeds,

the dangers of driving while impaired, and illustrates how to increase

your reaction time by following the two-second rule. Alert driving is a

fundamental element of safe, defensive driving techniques.

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

·  Describe reasons why you should never drive while impaired

·  Describe how to scan the road

·  Identify things to look for while driving

·  Describe how to increase reaction time

·  Define the two-second rule

·  Define the speed limit

Work Zone Safety

A work zone is an area of roadway associated with construction,

maintenance, or utility work activities. Work zones are typically marked

by signs, channeling devices, pavement markings, and/or work vehicles.

Because they are often adjacent to active roadways, work zone workers

are exposed to significant risks. Motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians can

also face significant risks. Roadways and work activities differ, and

weather, traffic volumes, and local environments also vary, so a "one size

fits" all approach to work zone safety is not appropriate. However, there

are policies, procedures, and guidelines which do apply to all. These are

covered in this course.

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

·  Define the term "work zone"

·  List hazardous conditions that work zones can present

·  Describe the components of a "Transportation Management

Plan," which can include a "Temporary Traffic Control" plan,

"Transportation Operations" plan, and "Public Information" plan

·  Describe the purpose and contents of the "Manual on Uniform

Traffic Control Devices"

·  Identify and describe "positive protection devices," "exposure

control measures," and "other traffic control measures"

·  Identify the four areas of a work zone

·  Describe the elements of an "Internal Traffic Control Plan" for a

work zone

·  List safe behaviors to use when driving in or around work zones

DOT ERG Introduction

The Department of Transportation's Emergency Response Guidebook

(ERG) was created to help firefighters, law enforcement officers, medical

personnel, and other first responders quickly identify the hazards present

at transportation emergencies involving hazardous materials in order to

protect themselves and the public. The ERG contains indexed lists of

hazardous materials, the general hazards each material presents, and

recommended safety precautions for emergency incidents. It is used in

the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and several South American countries.

Driving Large Vehicles

Vehicles on public roadways come in many different shapes and sizes.

and Heavy Equipment

Most passenger vehicles - cars, vans, SUVs, and pickup trucks - have

similar configurations and controls, and drivers of these vehicles

understand their capabilities and limitations. However, drivers of large

trucks and heavy equipment must use extra caution in order to safely

navigate and share the roads with smaller vehicles. This course covers

some of the things that must be considered when driving large vehicles or

operating heavy equipment in order to ensure the safety of operators and

people who are nearby. Topics covered include blind spot awareness,

how to safely back up, dealing with inclement weather and poor road

conditions, construction and work zone considerations, and minimizing in-

cab distractions.

DOT Hazmat -

The primary function of hazmat packaging is to ensure that hazardous

Packaging

materials remain intact and secure during transportation. All packagings

must be designed to ensure that under normal conditions, the contents will

not be released and the packaging effectiveness will be maintained as it

experiences typical physical stresses, including shocks, vibrations,

temperature extremes, and changes in humidity and pressure. The

Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) in Section 172.101 of the HMR can be

used to determine the non-bulk and bulk packaging requirements, and any

conditions for packaging exceptions, for hazardous material shipments.

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

·  Define the terms "hazardous material," "dangerous goods,"

"packaging," "package," "limited quantity," "excepted quantity," and

"consumer commodity"

materials. Placards are especially important to emergency responders,

who use this information to initiate protective actions after an incident or

accidental release.

materials to implement a Hazardous Materials Safety and Security Plan

(a.k.a. "Security Plan") and provide additional security training to

employees. Among other things, they must ensure subject hazmat

packages and containers are properly closed and secured, select routes

that will minimize damage to or from hazardous materials, conduct

background investigations on new employees, confirm the adequacy of

carrier Security Plans, and integrate all aspects of the security rule into

their normal business activities.
