Course Overview
The American Petroleum Institute (API), the Association of American Railroads (AAR) and their member companies have worked to create a general awareness educational video and resources for first responders. The free course can be viewed online here. Or it can be presented in person upon request. Requests for in-person course instruction should be directed to your TRANSCAER State Coordinator. The course is meant to provide the specific information first responders need to know before approaching an incident involving crude oil moved by rail.
