Transport Feature

Transport

Transportation of hazardous materials can be a risk to life, property, and the environment. There is federal law in the U.S. regulating the transportation of hazardous materials as a means of preventing fires, explosions, and spills. The key provisions encompassing federal standards are:

  • Procedures and Policies
  • Material Designations & Labeling
  • Packaging Requirements
  • Operational Rules

The regulations apply essentially to all persons involved in the preparation of the transportation of hazardous materials, including anyone who:

  • Transports hazardous materials in commerce;
  • Causes hazardous material to be transported in commerce;
  • Designs, manufactures, fabricates, inspects, marks, maintains, reconditions, repairs, or tests a package, container, or packaging component that is represented, marked, certified, or sold as qualified for use in transporting hazardous material in commerce;
  • Prepares or accepts hazardous material for transportation in commerce;
  • Is responsible for the safety of transporting hazardous material in commerce;
  • Certifies compliance with any legal and safety requirement; or
  • Misrepresents whether such person is engaged in any activity under the above requirements.
