Small containers account for a large percentage of chemicals shipped and / or stored. Of these, many are drum containers, usually from 30 to 55 gallon capacity. Small containers require additional handling during all phases of their useful life, resulting in a greater possibility of container failure and product spillage.

This module is designed to familiarize each participant of the strengths and weaknesses of these containers and how to repair, transfer and overpack damaged containers. In addition, this module through its hazards and risk assessment segment trains each student how to estimate its immediate and / or eventual impact on personnel, equipment and the environment, so they can come to a fast, safe, efficient, and effective way of mitigating the problem.
