Hazmat Load Segregation Guide vs AskRail

Easy-to-review version of the "Segregation for Hazardous Materials" tables found in CFR 49 §177.848 This app utilizes the "Segregation for Hazardous Materials" and "Class 1 Explosives Compatibility" Tables found in DOT/PHMSA Hazmat and IATA Dangerous Goods (DG) Handling Regulations. Because of their hazards, some hazardous materials may not be loaded, transported, sorted or stored together during the course of transportation. In other cases, the materials may loaded/shipped together as long as they are separated so that if any of the packages leak during transport, the leaked material would not commingle with other hazardous materials. Using the "Segregation Tables" in the D.O.T's Hazardous Materials or IATA's Dangerous Goods Handling Regulations, employees determine the requirements for loading/shipping different classes of hazardous materials on the same vehicle or aircraft. The information presented in this app can help the hazmat employee training requirements by supplementing knowledge with a quick and easy to use interface.

The AskRail app is a hazardous materials safety tool for first responders who are first on scene or directly support the first on scene in the event of a rail incident. Access to certain features, including the ability to query railcar contents based on an equipment number, is restricted to authorized personnel. To obtain authorization to use the restricted features, you must assert that you are a first responder, provide information about your emergency response agency, and identify a supervisor who can attest to your first responder duties. You also must obtain sponsorship from a Class I railroad. This process may take up to several weeks. AskRail is a collaborative effort among all North American Class I railroads, the Association of American Railroads, Railinc Corp., and the Transportation Technology Center, Inc.
