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).
The instructor was probably the best I ever had! He made the class enjoyable, was humorous at times, and very knowledgeable.

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

Given the choice, I would do all coursework this way. In-person courses go very fast without the opportunity to pause or repeat anything.
Ellen Pelton
Chemical Laboratory Manager
The instructor was excellent. They knew all of the material without having to read from a notepad or computer.

I was recently offered an opportunity to take my training through another company, but I politely declined. I only attend Lion Technology workshops.

The course is well thought out and organized in a way that leads to a clearer understanding of the total training.

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

Lion's information is very thorough and accurate. Presenter was very good.
