On March 11, 2011 at 76 FR 13313, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration proposed to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations to mandate that facilities where cargo tanks are loaded or unloaded must perform risk assessments, develop safe operating procedures, and provide annual safety training for employees.
The safe operating procedures required by this rule include:
Pre-transfer checklists
Temperature and flow rate monitoring
Emergency response plans
Design, testing, and maintenance standards for transfer equipment
Facility oversight of carrier personnel
DOT-PHMSA will be accepting comments on this rule proposal until May 10, 2011.
The instructor created a great learning environment.

I tried other environmental training providers, but they were all sub-standard compared to Lion. I will not stray from Lion again!

As always, Lion never disappoints
Paul Resley
Environmental Coordinator
Our instructor was very dynamic and kept everyone's interest. Hazmat shipping can be a dry, complicated topic but I was engaged the entire time.
Kimberly Arnao
Senior Director of EH&S
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
I really enjoyed this training. Even after years on both sides of the comprehension coin, I find myself still learning! The quality of the delivery exceeded much of the training I have received in the past.

Safety Officer
Excellent. I learned more in two days with Lion than at a 5-day program I took with another provider.
Francisco Gallardo
HES Technician
The instructor made the class very enjoyable and catered to the needs of our group.
Sarah Baker

The instructor kept the class engaged and made learning fun. There was a lot of information to cover but time flew by. I will definitely use Lion in the future!

Amazing instructor; real-life examples. Lion training gets better every year!
