How it works:

• Once you set up a Hotline account, you e-mail questions to a dedicated inbox.
• We assign your question(s) to the expert or experts best suited to answer it.
• Lion creates and peer-reviews a complete response that satisfies your inquiry

What kind of questions will the Hotline Service answer?

The Hotline Service provides detailed technical support and research to answer complex regulatory compliance questions. Through Hotline, Lion instructors, researchers, and subject matter experts will help you apply environmental, hazmat, and safety regulations to site-specific scenarios.

While every facility is unique, common questions from current Hotline clients cover topics like:

• If and how a specific substance is regulated by DOT, IATA, IMDG, EPA, or OSHA standards
• Applicable regulatory exclusions or exceptions for a given scenario
• Guidance to ship a new or unknown hazardous material
• Help to select appropriate packaging for hazardous materials shipments
• Review of agency interpretations and simple regulatory petitions

I just need to find a specific regulation. Can Lion help?

The Hotline Service answers complex, site-specific questions and concerns. For general questions about where to find specific regulations, check out the Finder Service included with every Lion EH&S course.

How do I setup a Hotline account?

To get started with Hotline, complete the sign up form. Provide some basic information about yourself, add other authorized users (if applicable), submit payment information and boom–you're set.

How much does a Hotline account cost?
