On March 2, 2011 PHMSA published a final rule implementing enhanced enforcement procedures authorized by the Hazardous Materials Transportation Safety and Security Reauthorization Act of 2005. These new procedures supplement those currently in place, and apply to all of the DOT’s operating administrations. The new requirements become effective on May 2, 2011.
Under these new procedures the DOT can now:
detain potentially noncompliant packages for inspection.
open detained packages, in order to identify non-compliant or undeclared hazmat.
issue out-of-service orders to remove transport vehicles or packages from transportation to mitigate imminent hazards.
I had a positive experience utilizing this educational program. It was very informative, convenient, and rewarding from a career perspective.

The instructor did an excellent job presenting a very dry subject; keeping everyone interested and making it enjoyable.
Marc Bugg

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 is my preferred trainer for hazmat and DOT.

The workshop covered a lot of information without being too overwhelming. Lion is much better, more comprehensive than other training providers.

Manufacturing Manager
More thorough than a class I attended last year through another company.
Troy Yonkers

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

Course instructor was better prepared and presented better than other trainers. Course manual and references were easier to use as well.
