Here’s a question from back in November of 2017:
Daniel
First question
Do we need a USDOT security plan for aluminum phosphide pesticides (Division 6.1 Poisonous Substance) if transported in compliance with special permit 13307 since that eliminates the need to display placards on the vehicle?
Second question
Can I send you our shipping paper to make sure we are in compliance, and how much for your time?
I don’t expect this for free.
My reply that same day:
Please see below for your answers:
- 49 CFR 172.800(b)(9) indicates the safety and security plan – and therefore in-depth security training – is required for a person who ships a quantity of Division 4.3 that requires placards to be displayed on the vehicle. You can read about the Safety and Security Plan and the determination of applicability in this article: Safety and Security Plan and In-Depth Security Training
- Special Permit 13307 precludes the need for placards. Therefore, this requirement does not apply to you. Read more about special permits, approvals, and exceptions from regulation.
- My consulting costs are $150/hour. The project you suggest will not take more than an hour. Likely 1/2 hour.
