HazMat regulations govern the packaging and transportation of hazardous materials by highway, rail, vessel, and air. The Millennium d1 Edition of Mancomm’s Hazardous Materials Regulations Manual combines the Hazardous Materials Standards and Regulations, 49 CFR 100-185 from the Department of Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, with powerful extras. This book contains an easy-to-read HazMat table.
To minimize risks, the US DOT has issued specific requirements for shipments which are divided into 4 general areas:
- Hazardous materials identification and classification
- Hazard communication – shipping papers, markings, labels, and placards are used to communicate hazards of the materials being transported
- Packaging requirements
- Operational rules
