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.
These are the best classes I attend each year. I always take something away and implement improvements at my sites.
Kim Racine
EH&S 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
The instructor had knowledge of regulations and understanding of real-world situations. The presentation style was engaging and fostered a positive atmosphere for information sharing.

Excellent class, super instructor, very easy to follow. No rushing through material. Would like to take his class again.

I think LION does an excellent job of any training they do. Materials provided are very useful to my day-to-day work activities.

The course was very informative and presented in a way that was easily understood and remembered. I would recommend this course.

Much better than my previous class with another company. The Lion instructor made sense, kept me awake and made me laugh!

The instructor's energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge of the subject make the class a great learning experience!
