The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has issued a final rule that changes how some hazardous materials are labeled during transport.
Why it matters: This is a relatively small administrative change that lowers the technical requirements for labeling small amounts of hazardous materials.
Who it affects
- Domestic companies that ship small amounts of hazardous materials via truck, train, or boat.
This rule was issued by the Department of Transportation’s PHMSA; readers should consult the Federal Register for specific technical requirements before changing their shipping processes.
