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.
This course went above my expectations from the moment I walked in the door. The instructor led us through two days packed with useful compliance information.
Rachel Stewart
Environmental Manager
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
I tried other environmental training providers, but they were all sub-standard compared to Lion. I will not stray from Lion again!
Sara Sills
Environmental Specialist
Lion courses always set the bar for content, reference, and practical application. Membership and access to the experts is an added bonus.
John Brown, CSP
Director of Safety & Env Affairs
I used the IT support number available and my issue was resolved within a few minutes. I don't see anything that could have made it better.

I was recently offered an opportunity to take my training through another company, but I politely declined. I only attend Lion Technology workshops.
Stephanie Gilliam
Material Production/Logistics Manager
The instructor took a rather drab set of topics and brought them to life with realistic real-life examples.
Tom Berndt
HSE Coordinator
Very good. I have always appreciated the way Lion Tech develops, presents and provides training and materials.
John Troy
Environmental Specialist
Lion's training was by far the best online RCRA training I've ever taken. It was challenging and the layout was great!
Paul Harbison
Hazardous Waste Professional
Very witty instructor, made the long times sitting bearable. One of the few training courses I can say I actually enjoyed.
