Feasibility of a Consolidated Security Credential for Persons Who Transport Hazardous Materials


The safe transport of hazardous materials (HazMat) throughout America’s transporta- tion infrastructure (to include points of origin and destination) is imperative to a safe and economically robust society. The security of the nation’s HazMat freight in all transporta- tion modes relies on a layered, multi-faceted security program. This comprehensive system is a constant monitor of the many areas, modes, and vehicles involved in HazMat trans- portation. One important part of this comprehensive security system is credentialing. Secu- rity credentials play an important role in ensuring security by vetting those individuals working with, or in support of, HazMat transport. This research project was designed to understand the current security credentialing system within the HazMat transportation system. Further- more, it was to explore the issues within the credentialing system and, if feasible, evaluate options for a consolidated credential.
