HazMat Transportation - Part 3 - Packaging (US)

If given the task of packaging or inspecting and accepting hazardous materials for transportation, could you do so in adherence with the HMR’s (Hazardous Materials Regulations) packaging requirements? Your employer wants to make sure you can, since the U.S. Department of Transportation (or DOT) and its designated agencies regulate the packaging and transportation of hazardous materials. These agencies also have the authority to inspect hazardous materials, or HAZMAT, packages and fine or penalize you as well as your employer for any HMR violations. Therefore, this module focuses on the various actions shippers and carriers must take to ensure that hazardous materials meet the general packaging requirements.
