Planning Document for Hazardous Materials Research
Abstract
The report discusses research needed to improve the management and control of hazardous materials. Input was derived largely from material discussed at a conference comprising representatives of government agencies involved in hazardous materials control and management. Conference topics encompassed: instrumentation for material and for hazard identification; equipment for operations, communication, and safety; training and education; and regulatory and environmental aspects and issues. The objective was to develop a research program plan, based on practical needs, that could serve as the nucleus to foster evolution of an integrated effort among the agencies involved in the complex problem of managing and controlling hazardous materials. To provide a focal point for further action, areas of concern brought up at the conference are discussed and some specific programs and funding levels suggested. The latter are summarized briefly in tables included at the end of the main text.
