St-1 Online For Radioactive Shipments In 2001

Knowing the labyrinth of rules and regulations that govern the process of shipping dangerous goods, is not optional knowledge. The laws that govern dangerous goods shipments can be financially burdensome, technically complex and enforced with iron-clad scrutiny. Too often, however, shippers choose to focus on saving relatively small sums of dollars by neglecting to properly train their employees in Hazardous Materials shipping guidelines and even shipping hazardous materials in non-compliant or marginally safe containers. Some shippers actually "cross-their-fingers" in the hopes that potentially dangerous shipments will get on board aircraft and not be discovered in violation of FAA or DOT regulations. However, recent fines from the FAA for these offenses start with a $50,000. price tag!! Safety, security and compliance are the main components of shipping dangerous goods in a manner which will save lives. From clothing dyes, to shampoo additives; infectious disease samples to prescription drug additives, it is the regulatory agencies and their in-field representatives that protect us from those that dare to ship unaware.
