DOT Hazmat Services
It may not seem like a big deal to handle even a low level of hazardous materials, but it is. If you’re not qualified to pack, mark, label, or ship hazardous materials; work with hazardous waste; or transport hazardous materials, you have no business making any decisions related to them – and neither do your employees. The fines and penalties for violating the federal hazmat transportation law are quite serious. That means you can’t even label a box as a “used fuel pump” or place an airbag in an unsealed box for someone else to ship. Any of your employees who work directly or indirectly with hazardous materials that get transported must complete DOT hazmat training every three years. Employees answer a few questions based on their job functions so they can take just the sections they need to be certified in: General Awareness, Hazardous Materials Table, Packaging and Marking & Labeling Requirements, Shipping Papers, Working with Hazardous Waste, and/or Pats Truck Operations. Employees who need full certification must take the complete course, but it’s shorter than many courses on the market and is tailored to the automotive services industry. Anyone who handles transportation of a hazardous material that requires a hazardous materials shipping paper must include an emergency response telephone number for use in the event of an emergency involving the hazardous material. As part of our DOT services, KPA provides you with a 24-Hour DOT Hazmat hotline that meets DOT requirements, which you can include on your shipping papers. KPA provides a variety of online resources to help you safely and correctly ship the most common hazardous materials. These include: KPA's DOT Hazardous Materials Solution provides everything you need to comply with DOT hazmat regulations, including:
