APPENDIX H SUGGESTED STUDENT HANDOUTS FOR THE TOOLKIT FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TRANSPORTATION EDUCATION Each module in the toolkit ends with suggested “Sources for Support and Additional Learning,” and many of those sources are available electronically. Also, several of the modules include imbedded links to electronic depositories and copies of specific documents. However, instructors are encouraged to assemble a set of materials for distribution to students at the beginning of the course. The following list includes sources of background information as well as basic references that may be helpful in multiple modules. Most are available in electronic format, but some may be more useful to students in “hard copy.” Many can be obtained without charge from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA; www.phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat/training/publications) or other federal or state agencies, as noted: 1. Definitions of Hazardous Materials (Appendix E of this publication) 2. Hazmat Transportation Glossary of Terms and Acronyms (Appendix F of this publication) 4. PHMSA’s “HAZMAT Digipack” (currently version 7.2) which includes a number of the key references listed below 5. Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) 2012 6. DOT Chart 14 (or more recent version) 7. PHMSA Hazmat General Awareness/Familiarization Training CD 8. Timelines prepared by Claire Rubin, Irmak Renda-Tanali, and William R.
