Coast Guard Forms Chemical Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC)
Posted on 6/14/2011 by James Griffin
The U.S. Coast Guard is establishing a Chemical Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC) to advise the Department of Homeland Security and the Guard on the safe and secure transportation of hazardous materials in bulk.
The Committee will include up to 25 members from chemical manufacturers, marine transport operators, vessel design and construction companies, marine safety or security companies, and marine environmental protection groups, all of whom are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Secretary of Homeland Security.
The CTAC may conduct studies, inquiries, workshops, and seminars at the direction or under the authorization of the Commandant of the Coast Guard. The unique industry perspective of the Committee will provide critical support to the USCG’s efforts to ensure the safety of the U.S. Merchant Marine.
For more information, see the Federal Register announcement (76 FR 34240).
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.

My experience with Lion training, both online and in the classroom, is that they are far better organized and provide a better sequential explanation of the material.
Robert Roose
Manager, Dangerous Goods Transportation
I chose Lion's online webinar because it is simple, effective, and easily accessible.

Attending Lion Technology classes should be mandatory for every facility that ships or stores hazmat.

I think LION does an excellent job of any training they do. Materials provided are very useful to my day-to-day work activities.

The instructor took a rather drab set of topics and brought them to life with realistic real-life examples.
Tom Berndt
HSE Coordinator
This is a very informative training compared to others. It covers everything I expect to learn and even a lot of new things.
