From Oct. 6 to 11, six IAM CREST Associate Instructors from Local S6 in Maine successfully completed an intensive Train the Trainer course, backed by enthusiastic support from the Eastern Territory. This specialized program equips instructors with crucial skills to educate others about the risks associated with the storage, shipping, loading, and unloading of hazardous materials in the railroad industry.
The Associate Instructors showcased their expertise and professionalism, enhancing the overall quality of training. They also recalibrated their knowledge base and provided valuable insights into the DOT program, contributing to its ongoing improvement.
Developed by IAM CREST, the training modules are designed to elevate existing programs offered by railroad carriers. Funded by a grant from the DOT Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, this initiative reflects IAM’s unwavering commitment to excellence in education.
These tailored modules are intended for railroad carrier hazmat employees and cover vital topics such as identifying dangerous goods, understanding associated hazards, and following proper handling and shipping procedures.
Class Participants: John L. Cabral III, Jacob C. Frost, Danielle Lynn Koughan, Scott William McFadden, Joseph R. Pare Sr., and Richard A. Sites Jr.
I.A.M. C.R.E.S.T. Staff: Project Coordinator/Instructor: Barry Eveland; Assistant Instructors: Kurt Poole and Gayle Kelly.
