HazMat Transportation - Part 1 - The Hazardous Materials Table (US)
Because of the risks and dangers associated with shipping hazardous materials, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and its supporting agencies regulate the transport of these materials within the US and ensure we comply with the Hazardous Materials Regulations (or the HMR). Therefore if your company prepares, offers or transports these materials; then you, as a hazardous materials or HAZMAT employee, most likely will use the Hazardous Materials Table, or HMT, to comply with the Hazardous Materials Regulations. This table is actually a part of the HMR and it serves to make our jobs easier by tying the regulations to each classified material.
