In our February 2010 Newsletter, we reported that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is amending packaging requirements in the Hazardous Materials Regulations to enhance compliance flexibility, improve clarity, and reduce regulatory burdens.
By far, one of the most controversial issues with packaging instruction is the manufacturer’s specific Closure Instruction for a hazardous material container. Required per CFR 178.2(c), Skolnik has created the first video explanation of how to properly close a Skolnik open head or closed head steel drum. Click here to view the video. Please note that this video, like all Closure Instructions, is manufacturer specific. In other words, this video only applies to steel drums manufactured and certified by Skolnik Industries Inc.
