Hazmat Security Plan

Effective September 25th, 2003 all Hazardous Materials transporters must have a Security Plan in Place.

You must have a written hazardous materials transportation security plan that is specific to your facility. The plan must include a Security Vulnerability Assessment (SVA) that assesses possible security risks and identifies appropriate measures to address the risks. At a minimum, the security plans must address:

Personnel Security. When hiring personnel who will handle DOT hazardous materials, you must take appropriate measures to confirm the information provided by the applicants. This can coincide with the new federal law requiring fingerprinting and security checks for new CDL drivers with a hazmat endorsement, but company due diligence in hiring is also important. However, employment practices must be in compliance with laws governing employment practices and individual privacy.
Unauthorized Access. Your plan must identify and address the risks that may occur if unauthorized people gain access to your DOT hazardous materials.
En-Route Security. Your plan needs to assess any security risks associated with the shipment of the hazardous materials from your plant to their final destination.
