Throughout the Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) of the PHMSA/USDOT it is primarily the responsibility of the Shipper of a hazardous material to provide the information necessary to safely transport the HazMat and to communicate its potential hazards. However, 49 CFR 172.606 contains requirements for the Carrier to provide contact information during certain situations of HazMat transportation. The purpose of this article is to explain in detail the requirements of this regulation, summarized as follows:
49 CFR 172.606 requires the Carrier to provide information in this situation
A HazMat Carrier must instruct the operators of the vehicle to contact them in the event of an incident involving the HazMat pursuant to paragraph (a) of §172.606.
The HazMat Carrier must make information available with the hazardous material whenever it is parked during transportation and is separated from its motive power pursuant to paragraph (b) & (c) of §172.606.
