Looking for help with Hazmat Transportation Regulations?

The Department of Transportation regulates hazmat transportation regulations through its Hazardous Material regulations (49 CFR Parts 171 to 180). These regs specify requirements for safe hazmat transportation in commerce by rail, aircraft, vessel, and motor vehicle. The hazmat transportation regulations govern the activities of waste shippers or generators, carriers, packaging manufacturers, and other service providers of hazardous waste transporters. DOT has general requirements for the loading, unloading, handling, and storage of explosives and hazardous materials as well as specific modal requirements.

The hazmat transportation regulations establish the requirements for the handling, transportation, and management of hazardous waste. For labeling, placarding, and marking, using proper containers and reporting of discharges, EPA has adopted the DOT regulations.
