It is the goal of IAM CREST to provide Hazardous Material Handlers and representatives with up-to-date information. We believe all workers are entitled to easy access to transportation safety information. Without access to the latest information, workers, their families and the public could be at risk to injury and chemical exposure. Making this information available on our web page is just one way IAM CREST is working toward this goal. More information may be available through your District or Local Lodge representative.

Please note that addresses on the internet change frequently. Try the links, if they change or are no longer active, please notify the IAM CREST Project Coordinator/Instructor Teri McClendon at (301) 967-4707 or e-mail to tmcclendon@iamaw.org

The following are web sites relating to Occupational Safety and Health and Transportation Safety. IAM CREST has found these to be informative and helpful in research. These may also assist you in obtaining and providing valuable information to members in workplace safety.
