SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OHMS's goal is to share information about
PHMSA as a safety agency, its grant program, the Emergency Response
Guidebook (ERG), and equip small businesses with tools for success. We
will also give attendees an opportunity to learn from experts about the
requirements for the safe transportation of hazardous materials and
hear from the agency's top leaders and subject matter experts.
Additionally, the seminar will further provide an open platform for the
exchange of ideas and efforts toward the safe transportation of
hazardous materials. Lastly, the seminar is an opportunity to discuss
with stakeholders any potential hazardous materials safety concerns
that OHMS should consider in developing future training opportunities
or other safety initiatives.
