Fully Involved: Norfolk Southern Safety Train 2024

Good morning,

 

My name is Elliott Austin. I am the Manager of Hazardous Materials for Norfolk Southern Railroad for Gulf Division. I am writing to let you know that in our region, the Norfolk Southern Safety Train is scheduled to stop in Valdosta, GA. This will be a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable training and insight into Railroad related emergencies. This course will be focused on Product Identification, Equipment Identification, Incident Command, Initial Company Operations, and Incident Remediation. This is an opportunity for you, and your team, to work with real-world scenarios, taught by industry leaders and experts.

 

The Safety Train is a rolling classroom that measures over 600 feet long. It affords the opportunity to get hands on experience and work through basic scenarios that will be met by first responders, administration, and emergency management agencies. All levels of experience are welcomed. These are courses that are tailored to each person’s level of training. Please visit www.Transcaer.com for more information on the course. I have included the link to the course at the bottom of this email. There is a limited number of seats, so once they are filled the course will be closed.

 

Thank you for your time, your efforts and all that you do. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. My contact information is located at the bottom of this email.
