Special historical documents

• A document tracing the development and adoption of a new paradigm for the safer handling of hazardous materials emergencies by emergency responders during the period 1968-1980 is posted here. .

• Some unpublished papers on topics such as Time/Loss histories as an underused safety resource, some reflections on scientific method, and hazmat emergency response network talking points may be of interest to researchers.

• One of my first assignments when I joined the NTSB was to develop a special study to examine risk concepts in dangerous goods transportation. That study, Risk Concepts for Dangerous Goods Transportation, of which I was the principal author for the Board, with major contributions from Henry Wakeland, was adopted in January of 1971. It can be viewed here and is also available through Google books. It was widely disseminated, discussed in numerous conferences and played a role in 1973 action by the US Congress in Title I of PL 93-633 where hazmat were defined as "...material in commerce posing an unreasonable risk..."
