One important method for identifying hazardous materials is through the use of container labels. From bottles and drums to trucks and railcars, labels and placards provide information about the contents of a container, as well as what to do and who to call in case of an emergency. Because this information is so critical to the safe handling and transporting of these potentially dangerous substances, several organizations have developed labeling and placarding systems to communicate to employees about a container's contents. MARCOM's Interactive CD-ROM Training Course "Hazardous Materials Labels" is designed to help employees understand the characteristics of different labeling systems and the ways that each system conveys information. By recognizing the similarities and differences of these systems, employees will be better prepared to work safely around hazardous materials. Areas covered in the program include: OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard. Types of Containers Requiring Labels. Information Required on Labels. Department of Transportation (DOT) Hazardous Material Classifications. DOT Label and Placard Requirements. United Nations Identification Numbers. The Hazardous Materials Identification System (HMIS). The National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) Labeling System. Hazardous Waste Labeling. and more! Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video, text and colorful graphics, this course from The Interactive CD-ROM Training Library provides the most cost-effective Safety and Regulatory Compliance training available today. The course features platform software that installs automatically, and comprehensive User's and Trainer's Guides. The course is about 45 minutes long (depending on the employee), and is divided into a number of logical sections so information is easily understood...and retained. Also designed with the Training Manager in mind, all courses in The Interactive CD-ROM Training Library include a Training Management System (at no additional cost). Using this system, trainers can set up pre- and post-tests... establish log-in procedures... even define and set up curriculum for various job classes. The system also collects and organizes employee performance information through a powerful relational database, which can generate a number of record-keeping and tracking reports... and has a database "import/export" feature, which allows information to be transferred to and from an external database (such as a company's personnel database and/or learning management system).
