Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a 12-year period, the Safety Board has identified and recommended corrective measures for the many unsafe conditions it has identified in the shipment of hazardous materials, but too often, action necessary to remedy the identified problems has been delayed -- sometimes for years. Delayed correction of identified safety problems perpetuates substantial losses, both economic and personal, to shippers, carriers, employees of the transportation mode, emergency response personnel, and the public. The Safety Board reviewed hazardous materials legislation and regulations promulgated by the Federal government, analyzed the DOT hazardous materials safety programs, and reviewed Safety Board reports on hazardous materials accidents and its recommendations for corrective actions. This report identifies reasons for past delays in implementing corrective safety improvements by DOT and identifies changes needed in DOT's management of the hazardous materials transportation program to bring about more timely correction of identified safety hazards which is essential for reducing losses in life, injury, and property damage.

This book was released on 2018-11-24 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hazardous Materials - Enhanced Enforcement Procedures - Resumption of Transportation (US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Regulation) (PHMSA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Hazardous Materials - Enhanced Enforcement Procedures - Resumption of Transportation (US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Regulation) (PHMSA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 PHMSA is addressing certain matters identified in the Hazardous Materials Transportation Safety Improvement Act of 2012 related to the Department's enhanced inspection, investigation, and enforcement authority. Specifically, PHMSA is amending the package opening provision to include procedures for an agent of the Secretary of Transportation to open packages of perishable hazardous materials and to provide notification to the responsible party that an agent has exercised a safety inspection or investigation authority. In addition, we are establishing equipment requirements for agents. The Department's enhanced inspection, investigation, and enforcement procedures were previously established through notice and comment rulemaking and thoroughly address the hazardous material transportation matters identified by Congress. This final rule is required to codify changes to Federal hazardous materials transportation law and to ensure transparency and consistency for hazardous materials inspectors across all modes of transportation. As it affects only agency enforcement procedures, there are no additional compliance costs to industry associated with this final rule. This book contains: - The complete text of the Hazardous Materials - Enhanced Enforcement Procedures - Resumption of Transportation (US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Regulation) (PHMSA) (2018 Edition) - A table of contents with the page number of each section

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Transportation Safety Board, at the request of the Senate Appropriations Committee, has just completed a safety effectiveness evaluation of Federal and State enforcement efforts in the area of bulk hazardous materials transportation by commercial motor vehicle. As a result of this evaluation, the Board found that there are several improvements that should be made to the enforcement activities of the Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety (BMCS) in the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). In its evaluation, the Board staff interviewed BMCS officials in the headquarters office and in eight of the nine FHWA Regions. In addition, the Board staff interviewed State enforcement officials in 24 States, including 3 of the 4 States participating in the BMCS "Commercial Motor Carrier Safety Inspection and Weighing Demonstration Program." Because the BMCS enforcement of the motor vehicle-related Federal Hazardous Materials Regulations is not separate from its enforcement of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, the Board found that, in general, the same deficiencies undermine the effectiveness of both efforts. Thus, the major findings of the Board concerning BMCS enforcement apply equally to enforcement of the motor vehicle-related Federal Hazardous Materials Regulations and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
