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.

The instructor was energetic and made learning fun compared to dry instructors from other training providers.
Andy D’Amato

The instructor was very knowledgeable and provided pertinent information above and beyond the questions that were asked.
Johnny Barton
Logistics Coordinator
I love that the instructor emphasized the thought process behind the regs.
Rebecca Saxena
Corporate Product Stewardship Specialist
The instructor does a great job at presenting material in an approachable way. I have been able to save my company about $30,000 in the last year with what I have learned from Lion!
Curtis Ahonen
EHS&S Manager
This is a very informative training compared to others. It covers everything I expect to learn and even a lot of new things.
Quatama Jackson
Waste Management Professional
Very good. I have always appreciated the way Lion Tech develops, presents and provides training and materials.
John Troy
Environmental Specialist
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 attended training from another provider and learned absolutely nothing. Lion is much better. Hands down.
Nicole Eby
Environmental Specialist
Very witty instructor, made the long times sitting bearable. One of the few training courses I can say I actually enjoyed.
John Hutchinson
Senior EHS Engineer
Lion courses always set the bar for content, reference, and practical application. Membership and access to the experts is an added bonus.
