Abstract
This paper explains that the U.S. Congress passed the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act or MCSIA in 2002, which requires all states to meet federal standards that include "uniform testing and licensing" of any agents transporting students in a commercial vehicle, which is included under the category of HAZMAT. The author stress that it is vital that any employee working with hazardous materials understand the dangers involved and safety precautions necessary to protect their health and well-being and that of their employer. The paper relates that HAZMAT training is essential for employees who operate a motor vehicle that transports HAZMAT, load or unload HAZMAT from a vehicle, test packages used to transport HAZMAT materials, repair HAZMAT vehicles and anyone responsible for the safety of HAZMAT while in transit.

From the Paper
"Employers have an obligation to label all hazardous materials within the workplace using special coding systems so employees are aware of hazards they may work with. In addition materials safety data sheets should be available for employees to review in a public location within the company. These sheets contain information regarding a substances hazard class and steps an employee or organization should take if any person is exposed to the hazardous substance in question. Also provided is detailed information regarding the handling and care of hazardous materials."

From the Paper
"The United States government has identified more than 65,000 chemicals and materials as hazardous substances. The Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA), the government agency that decides how the country should transport dangerous goods, requires different handling and transportation procedures for each of these substances (Minahan, 1998). "Hazmats," as these substances are collectively called, include two categories of hazardous materials: "health hazards" and "physical hazards." If a material meets one of the Occupational Health and Safety Administration's (OSHA) definitions it is classified as a hazmat (Rekus, 1998).
Health hazards are defined as materials for which there is scientific evidence demonstrating that acute or chronic health ..."

Abstract
This paper explains that a hazardous material emergency is any uncontrolled release or possible release of a hazardous material or substance that requires assistance from a local fire department or ?hazmat? team to control it. The author points out that the first steps for the incidence commander are to assess the situation, determine which level of magnitude the situation is (HAZMAT level 0, 1, 2, or 3), and then pass this information to whichever local, state, and federal organizations are required. The paper relates that air surveillance at the site of a hazardous material incident is vital to ensure that the personnel involved are not exposed to chemicals or materials in the air and that lingering particles do not contaminate local surrounding areas, placing the public in danger.

From the Paper
"Identifying materials in any hazardous materials accident is vital to site containment. Whenever there are unidentified products at a containment site, the incident commander must attempt to identify those products. First, visual inspection should be made to attempt to identify the materials. This can be done via binoculars if the materials appear to be corrosive to the eye. Additionally, the commander must look for the presence of smoke, vapor, or fire to help determine the chemical nature of the compound. The commander can also look for the original containers, to help identify the products."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that there are more than 2.2 undocumented illegal immigrant drivers in California. The writer points out that they rallied with law enforcers, insurance companies and the religious sector in support of Senate Bill 1160 or the Immigrant Responsibility and Security Act. The writer explains that signed into law, this bill would allow undocumented immigrants to apply for a driver's license. The bill, authored by Senator Gil Cedillo, would allow illegal immigrants to secure a license by presenting a valid passport or identification issued by the consulate of the immigrant's country of origin. The writer discusses the arguments for and against such a bill. The writer mentions the belief that the bill would increase public safety, enhance a sense of responsibility and citizenship, and intensify homeland security by requiring applicants to undergo a criminal background check by the FBI against the terrorism watch list. The writer also explains that, according to surveys, 66% of non-Hispanic whites opposed the bill. This group believed that the bill would condone and encourage the violation of federal immigration law and induce and facilitate the commission of more crimes.

From the Paper
"Cedillo claimed that he had an agreement with the Governor that the latter would help pass a new law with additional security features, but that there would be no identifying markers for illegal immigrants. The Governor denied making any agreement with Cedillo. Instead, he maintained that markers were necessary for homeland security and to prevent terrorists from using a license to open a back account or enroll in flight schools. The license bill supporters argued that banks and airlines already accept consular identification cards. Many law enforcement leaders also claimed that a driver's license would enable them to track down illegal immigrants and that this would tend to result in fewer uninsured drivers and hit-and-run accidents. Conservative Republicans, however, countered that illegal immigrants had violated the law and must, therefore, be punished for it, not rewarded. They had begun taking steps towards a constitutional amendment, which would prohibit the grant of driver's licenses to illegal residents. They also worked for support for this initiative from voters in the March 2006 elections. Likewise, they accused the Governor of double dealing by requiring a marker but trying to keep the sympathy of Latinos."
