What Is a Hazardous Material?
• Many organizations have offered definitions of the
synonymous terms “hazardous materials” and “dangerous
goods” to meet various needs (see handout):
– Institute of Hazardous Material Management (IHMM)
– National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
– U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
– U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
– U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
– U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
– U.S. General Services Administration (GSA)
3P bar Y Safety Consultants Alberta Canada
Basic USDOT Definition of Hazardous Material
4
A substance or material, that when transported in
commerce, is capable of posing an unreasonable risk
to:
– Health
– Safety
– Property
P bar Y Safety Consultants Alberta Canada
Dangerous Goods Are Internationally Regulated
• UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods
– Not obligatory, but form the basis of many national systems and
international agreements
• International Maritime Organization (IMO)
– International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, part of the
International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea
• Intergovernmental Organization for International Carriage by Rail
– International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail, part of the Convention
concerning International Carriage by Rail.
• International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
– Technical Instructions For The Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air
• International Air Transport Association (IATA)
– IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations
5P bar Y Safety Consultants Alberta Canada
Overview of Legal and Regulatory Process
• Federal Legislation
– Examples: Hazardous Material Transportation Act, National
Environmental Policy Act, Oil Pollution Act, laws in other spheres
• Regulatory Agencies
– DOT, EPA and at least 50 others
– Create and enforce rules - regulations - that carry the full force of law
• Federal Rulemaking Process
– The process of creating and enacting federal regulations is generally
referred to as the “rulemaking” process.
– Regulatory agencies create regulations according to rules and
processes defined by Administration Procedure Act.
– Agencies must publish all proposed new regulations in the Federal
Register at least 30 days before they take effect, and they must
provide a way for interested parties to comment, offer amendments,
or to object to the regulation.
• State and local governments have similar processes, but may not
enact laws and regulations that conflict with federal enactments.
6P bar Y Safety Consultants Alberta Canada
The Federal Hazardous Materials Transportation Law
• 49 U.S.C. § 5101 et seq. is the basic statute regulating
hazardous materials transportation in the United States.
• Purpose: to “protect against the risks to life, property,
and the environment that are inherent in the
transportation of hazardous material in intrastate,
interstate, and foreign commerce” (emphasis added)
• Gives the Secretary of Transportation the authority to:
– Designate material as hazardous
– Issue regulations for the safe and secure transportation of
hazardous material

Issues Involving Multiple/Overlapping Regulations
82
• The federal hazmat law and the HMR provide that, unless
authorized by another Federal law, a requirement of a state,
local government, or Indian tribe is preempted if:
– Compliance with both laws/regulations is not possible.
– The non-federal requirement interferes with carrying out the federal
law or HMR.
– The State, local, or Indian tribe requirement concerns a “covered
subject,” and is NOT “substantively the same” as any provision of, the
Federal hazmat law/regulation concerning that subject.
– The “covered subjects” are those covered in the main provisions of the
HMR, e.g., hazmat identification and classification, shipping papers,
marking, labeling, packaging, etc.
• State and Indian tribe highway routing designations,
limitations and requirements relating to hazardous materials
will be preempted unless they meet federal procedural and
substantive requirements.

In the usa to learn hazmat

  • 1. In the USA to Learn Hazmat Is Easy and Simple You only have to know the following easy to learn items about Dangerous Goods like the ( 9) Classes and (27) Hazards behind them.
  • 2. The Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) 2 • This module is for educational purposes only. • It does not substitute for the actual HMR. • For authoritative information consult the latest edition of the HMR http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text- idx?sid=69820f56014d9312d67ea8169b0e9e01&c=ecfr&tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title49/ 49tab_02.tpl and the final rules published in the Federal Register. https://www.federalregister.gov/ P bar Y Safety Consultants Alberta Canada
  • 3. What Is a Hazardous Material? • Many organizations have offered definitions of the synonymous terms “hazardous materials” and “dangerous goods” to meet various needs (see handout): – Institute of Hazardous Material Management (IHMM) – National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) – U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) – U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) – U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) – U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) 3P bar Y Safety Consultants Alberta Canada
  • 4. Basic USDOT Definition of Hazardous Material 4 A substance or material, that when transported in commerce, is capable of posing an unreasonable risk to: – Health – Safety – Property P bar Y Safety Consultants Alberta Canada
  • 5. Dangerous Goods Are Internationally Regulated • UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods – Not obligatory, but form the basis of many national systems and international agreements • International Maritime Organization (IMO) – International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, part of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea • Intergovernmental Organization for International Carriage by Rail – International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail, part of the Convention concerning International Carriage by Rail. • International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) – Technical Instructions For The Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air • International Air Transport Association (IATA) – IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations 5P bar Y Safety Consultants Alberta Canada
  • 6. Overview of Legal and Regulatory Process • Federal Legislation – Examples: Hazardous Material Transportation Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Oil Pollution Act, laws in other spheres • Regulatory Agencies – DOT, EPA and at least 50 others – Create and enforce rules - regulations - that carry the full force of law • Federal Rulemaking Process – The process of creating and enacting federal regulations is generally referred to as the “rulemaking” process. – Regulatory agencies create regulations according to rules and processes defined by Administration Procedure Act. – Agencies must publish all proposed new regulations in the Federal Register at least 30 days before they take effect, and they must provide a way for interested parties to comment, offer amendments, or to object to the regulation. • State and local governments have similar processes, but may not enact laws and regulations that conflict with federal enactments. 6P bar Y Safety Consultants Alberta Canada
  • 7.
