On March 2, 2011 PHMSA published a final rule implementing enhanced enforcement procedures authorized by the Hazardous Materials Transportation Safety and Security Reauthorization Act of 2005. These new procedures supplement those currently in place, and apply to all of the DOT’s operating administrations. The new requirements become effective on May 2, 2011.
Under these new procedures the DOT can now:
detain potentially noncompliant packages for inspection.
open detained packages, in order to identify non-compliant or undeclared hazmat.
issue out-of-service orders to remove transport vehicles or packages from transportation to mitigate imminent hazards.
If I need thorough training or updating, I always use Lion. Lion is always the best in both instruction and materials.
Bryce Parker
EHS Manager
One of the best trainings I have ever received!
Brandon Morfin
EH&S Manager
Lion provided an excellent introduction to environmental regulations, making the transition to a new career as an EHS specialist less daunting of a task. Drinking from a fire hose when the flow of water is lessened, is much more enjoyable!
Stephanie Weathers
SHE Specialist
The instructor was probably the best I ever had! He made the class enjoyable, was humorous at times, and very knowledgeable.
Mary Sue Michon
Environmental Administrator
I can take what I learned in this workshop and apply it to everyday work and relate it to my activities.

Lion is easily and consistently the best option for compliance training. I've learned new information from every instructor I've had.

I have been to other training companies, but Lion’s material is much better and easier to understand.

Lion's course was superior to others I have taken in the past. Very clear in the presentation and the examples helped to explain the content presented.
