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).

Well designed and thorough program. Excellent summary of requirements with references. Inclusion of regulations in hard copy form, as well as full electronic with state pertinent regulations included is a great bonus!
Oscar Fisher

The instructor was great, explaining complex topics in terms that were easily understandable and answering questions clearly and thoroughly.

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
The instructor took a rather drab set of topics and brought them to life with realistic real-life examples.

Lion is at the top of the industry in compliance training. Course content and structure are updated frequently to make annual re-training enjoyable. I like that Lion has experts that I can contact for 1 year after the training.

The exercises in the DOT hazardous materials management course are especially helpful in evaluating your understanding of course information.

You blew the doors off the competition!
