FSOs are highly trained to handle dangerous goods
You must have heard about hazardous materials or dangerous goods. They are such materials that can lead to great disasters and accidents if they are not handled in the right manner. Majority of the accidents that are caused by these materials occur when they are being transported from one place to another. It might happen that various kinds of chemical reactions start taking place in the materials that trigger a disaster or an accident. This is the reason that nowadays special emphasis is being laid on the various factors that are related to the transportation of the hazardous materials.
Various kinds of security measures are being taken so that there are no accidents from these materials causing immense damage to life and property. One of the most important steps that have been taken is the employment of facility security officers or FSO for proper handling and management of dangerous goods while they are being moved from one place to another. The officers are trained experts at handling and managing crisis situations if unfortunately a disaster strikes from hazardous materials. They know the various tricks and methods by which the extent of damage can be controlled to both human lives and properties.
It is very strange yet a true fact that we are actually surrounded by different kinds of dangerous goods and use many of them in our daily lives as well. But in such cases they do not prove to be very dangerous as they are there as a compound with other materials. Individually they might be really hazardous or they might turn hazardous when they come in contact with other agents while transportation. This is one of the primary reasons why FSO are employed and sent with vehicles that carry hazardous materials to various places. They have the skill of understanding that a crisis might happen and can take precautionary actions accordingly so that it does not happen.
FSO or facility security officers have to undergo rigorous training programs before they are certified professionals, who can handle dangerous Goods. Both theoretical and practical lessons are taught in the training programs. The officers are taught about the chemical properties and compositions of the various materials so that the ways to handle them become easier. Real life emergency situations are also created and they are made to train in such situations so that they have on hand experience of handling such situations without problem.
