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

Amazing instructor; real-life examples. Lion training gets better every year!
Frank Papandrea
Environmental Manager
I have attended other training providers, but Lion is best. Lion is king of the hazmat jungle!!!
Henry Watkins
Hazardous Waste Technician
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!

Our instructor was very dynamic and kept everyone's interest. Hazmat shipping can be a dry, complicated topic but I was engaged the entire time.
Kimberly Arnao
Senior Director of EH&S
These are the best commercial course references I have seen (10+ years). Great job!
Ed Grzybowski
EHS & Facility Engineer
Having the tutorial buttons for additional information was extremely beneficial.
Sharon Ziemek

Energetic/enthusiastic! Made training enjoyable, understandable and fun!

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