Answer:

All Hazmat (hazard materials) employees must be properly licensed and receive general awareness and familiarization training to transport and handle ammunition and other hazardous materials.

Step-by-step explanation:

This unique training is called the "HAZMAT Familiarization and Safety in Transportation" course. The course aims to provide the following trainings: applicability and responsibility, emergency response, general awareness/familiarization, and security awareness. HAZMAT employees learn the hazard class (gas, liquid, explosive, etc.) and what each class is capable of doing. This knowledge allows the HAZMAT employee to safely transport or store hazardous materials and to correctly respond to emergencies that they could face. The training also enables HAZMAT employees to safely control and contain a HAZMAT accident, thereby protecting the general public.
