Hazmat Safety & Security Task Report
Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States, the Department of Transportation was asked to identify areas within the transportation system that were vulnerable to terrorist attack. One major area of concern identified was the transportation of hazardous materials (hazmat). The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration decided to conduct a field operational test (FOT) to quantify the security costs and benefits of an operational concept that applies technology and improved enforcement procedures to hazmat transportation. TSSI was selected as part of the team to conduct the FOT that demonstrates an effective approach to enhance the safety and security of hazmat shipments from origin to destination.

As part of the Hazmat FOT, TSSI conducted a risk/threat assessment to organize the safety and security risks and threats in the highway transportation of hazardous materials. The assessment frames the safety and security risks being addressed by the FOT and is the basis for developing the Concept of Operations. This assessment categorized the threats and leads to the prioritization of potential countermeasures.
