A Summary of DOT's FY2005 Hazardous Materials Penalty Action Report

摘要

PHMSA recently posted the FY2005 Penalty Action Report on its website. A review of the penalty actions provides some perspective about what inspectors from each of the DOT agencies focus on in their inspections. By studying the report and coming to understand the violations brought against companies with similar hazmat operations, this sheds light on what DOT inspectors are focusing and could help company compliance personnel correct deficiencies in their own operations before they are faced with a DOT inspection. At the same time it helps identify areas hazmat trainers should focus on when providing hazmat training.
