The website of the National Biodiesel Board (United States) (URL above) has posted a 5-module safety training program called, "Biodiesel: Response Considerations". The program provides "the critical information that First Responders and Hazardous Material Response Teams need for a safe and competent response" in an emergency event. The information includes the properties of the raw materials used for biodiesel production and the biodiesel product. Powerpoint and video materials are also available with the training modules..
