A Brief Summary of USDOT’s Hazardous Material Regulations

On October 2, 2015 I had the opportunity to speak for 50 minutes or so at the MRA Safety Conference in Moline, IL.  I was tasked with summarizing the Hazardous Materials Regulations of the USDOT and the applicable regulations to be addressed in Driver Training.  After it was all over I sat down, made a few minor adjustments and created a narrated presentation using Office Mix.  All you have to do is sit back and watch!

When it’s over, please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have about the transportation of hazardous materials or the management of hazardous waste.
