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.

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 is easily and consistently the best option for compliance training. I've learned new information from every instructor I've had.
Rachel Mathis
EHS Specialist
The exercises in the DOT hazardous materials management course are especially helpful in evaluating your understanding of course information.
Morgan Bliss
Principal Industrial Hygienist
Excellent class, super instructor, very easy to follow. No rushing through material. Would like to take his class again.
Lawrence Patterson
EH&S Facility Maintenance & Security Manager
The instructor was probably the best I ever had! He made the class enjoyable, was humorous at times, and very knowledgeable.
Mary Sue Michon
Environmental Administrator
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
Excellent job. Made what is very dry material interesting. Thoroughly explained all topics in easy-to-understand terms.
David Hertvik
Vice President
I was able to present my scenario to the instructor and worked thru the regulations together. In the past, I attended another training firm's classes. Now, I have no intention of leaving Lion!
Diana Joyner
Senior Environmental Engineer
Lion's online training is more comprehensive, has better slides, and is a superior training experience than what I would get from other trainers.
Robert Brenner
District Environmental Manager
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.

Manager, Dangerous Goods Transportation
