DO I NEED DANGEROUS GOODS TRAINING?
Any employee that is involved with paperwork, boxes, labels, marking, materials, loading,
storing and transporting is considered a hazmat employee and must receive training in
dangerous goods shipments. A hazmat employees training must include general
awareness training, function/job specific training, safety training, and security awareness
training. If employees are receiving, shipping, storing, packing, marking, labeling, signing
documentation or simply working around dangerous goods, they need some degree of
training.
Every single person (talking about workers) that has any activity related to the transportation
of materials, whether it is internally or in long distances, must have an special training to
assure not only their physical integrity, but also the correct fulfilment of the regular activities
in the facility.
Most hazmat incidents occur when people that do not know about this handling. There are
three types of shipments; these are air shipments (IATA), ground shipments (49CFR) and
ocean shipments (IMDG). All of the above represent by themselves a whole universe of
stablished rules or requirements that must be taken into account in order to assure the
package movement from point A to point B and so on.

SUPPLY CHAIN
A supply chain is a global network used to deliver products and services. From raw
materials through producers, distributors, retailers and to the final customer. A basic supply
chain involves a producer, supplier and customer. This process, even if it can be easily
summarized in a few words, represents by itself a great importance in any big company, of
even entire industries all over the world.
There is primary flow from the supplier to the producer and from the producer to the
customer. Also, primary cash flow from customer to the raw supplier. Information flow back
and forth, including, reverse product flow when there are returns. Furthermore, this
mentioned information flow is the responsible for either the correct functioning of the
logistics or a total failure in it.
A seller is an organization with who a buyer makes business; they provide raw materials,
energy, services and components for products or services, such as plastic, fabric, and other
materials. A producer receives components from a seller and offer finished goods or
services (shirts from fabric, power from electric wiring, etc.). A customer is the person who
receives the finished products or makes use of the services.
There are three types of supply chain strategies. Reactive, where the demand is fulfilled
from trade partners. Stable, based on the execution, efficiencies. Moreover, efficient
reactive, which means represents the focus on efficiency and management cost.
Either it is in manufacturing or in services, both of them require and extensive a well
planned supply chain, with their unique and special standards and regulations or rules to be
followed.
There are also two types of the supply chain management: horizontal and vertical. The
vertical takes action when the same company who needs the final product, to subsequently
sell it, also makes the manufacturing process. The horizontal talks about the expansion of a
company to reach other target market and obviously produce products for them.
The stages of supply chain management evolution are stable, multiple dysfunction, semi-
functional enterprise, integrated enterprise, extended enterprise.

HAZMAT TRANSPORTATION
It is critical for the company to get the job done right, talking about the transportation of
hazardous materials. These materials are divided into 5 types or classes: explosives, gases,
flammable liquids, flammable solids, and oxidizer and organic peroxide.
For each one to the classes there are different but specific labels that must be put in the
external packaging of the product or the document that gives the information of the product
or material being transported. All of the classes have their own subdivision (1, 1.1, 1.2).
Due to the infinite materials variety, the most used forms as standards has some
exceptions or considerations part inside it, mainly because of the nature of that specific
material, or the place where it is being moved to.
There are requirements for almost everything, some of the most important ones are the
emergency response information in case of any dangerous and accidental situation may
occur. For instance, the labels warning of any dangerous material being moved from one
place to another must be not only pasted on the packaging of the product but also in any
transportation machinery, such as trucks.
