PHMSA seeks to fund nonprofit organizations with the ability to conduct training programs for HAZMAT employees, and the ability to reach and involve a target population of HAZMAT employees in a training program. Properly planned and maintained training programs are essential for HAZMAT employees to ensure: (1) HAZMAT employees receive initial and continuing training on the risks involved in transporting HAZMAT; (2) the relevant training requirements in the Hazardous Materials Regulation (HMR) are met; and (3) HAZMAT employees will be equipped to ensure their safety and the safety of others.
