Fully-Compliant Hazardous Materials Transportation
The transportation of hazardous materials/dangerous goods is highly regulated. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in cargo delays which may lead to disgruntled or even a loss of customers. Fines may also be levied if the regulations are not followed. All of these actions impact on the company’s bottom line.

Training
The fine for a failure to train in each area of training required has a baseline assessment of $1,500. In many companies, a complete failure to train an employee requiring training can therefore result in a $6,000 fine. A “hazmat employee” is roughly defined as anyone who directly affects hazardous materials transportation safety. We offer training, often tailored, to those persons who fall under this definition. Our clients include: manufacturers, carriers (all modes), brokers, freight forwarders, and NVOCCs. A list of the training includes: Domestic Transportation (49 CFR) and International Transportation (IMO, ICAO). Our training is comprehensive and includes the IMO regulations for packing a Cargo Transport Unit (CTU), infectious substances, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes and hazmat endorsement for drivers.
