On March 11, 2011 at 76 FR 13313, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration proposed to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations to mandate that facilities where cargo tanks are loaded or unloaded must perform risk assessments, develop safe operating procedures, and provide annual safety training for employees.
The safe operating procedures required by this rule include:
Pre-transfer checklists
Temperature and flow rate monitoring
Emergency response plans
Design, testing, and maintenance standards for transfer equipment
Facility oversight of carrier personnel
DOT-PHMSA will be accepting comments on this rule proposal until May 10, 2011.
The instructor kept the class engaged and made learning fun. There was a lot of information to cover but time flew by. I will definitely use Lion in the future!

Attending Lion Technology classes should be mandatory for every facility that ships or stores hazmat.

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.

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

This training broke down the regulations in an easy-to-understand manner and made them less overwhelming. I now feel I have the knowledge to make more informed decisions.

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
I can't say enough how pleased I was with this course! Everything finally makes sense.
Kim Graham
Lab Manager
We have a very busy work schedule and using Lion enables us to take the course at our own time. It makes it easy for me to schedule my employees' training.
