Hazardous Materials Emergencies Involving Intermodal Containers, 1st ed., Gregory G. Noll, Michael S. Hildebrand, and Michael L. Donahue, 1995
Intermodal containers are designed to be moved from ship to trucks to railcars.
With the emerging global economy, intermodal containers have become the primary method for moving bulk shipments of hazardous materials internationally.
This publication covers the design and construction features and emergency response procedures for handling incidents involving intermodal freight containers, intermodal portable tank containers, and intermediate bulk containers.
The authors have assembled hard-to-find comprehensive technical information that is based on actual field experience.
Special topics include information on how to read and understand international container markings and hazardous cargo manifests, how to deal with leaks on intermodal portable tank containers and intermediate bulk containers, and forcible entry techniques for intermodal freight containers.
The text is organized by mode of transportation and includes unique information on handling marine, highway, and rail emergencies.
In addition to covering the general command structure for these incidents, the document contains detailed information on each of the incident management positions specific to hazardous materials operations. Multiple scenarios for agencies in small, medium, and large jurisdictions
