Rely on us to guide you through the intricate regulatory landscapes. We’ll ensure you attain special permits and approvals from the USDOT/ PHMSA and related authoritative entities.

Are You Aligned with All Dangerous Goods Protocols?

Dangerous goods regulations are a maze. With entities like the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) , International Air Transport Association (IATA), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) laying down thousands of rules, staying updated can be challenging. However, compliance is non-negotiable for public safety, environmental preservation, and the welfare of those in the transportation sector. “A mistake in packaging or labeling can lead to significant fines and potentially catastrophic consequences.

Dangerous goods shipments need to align with all applicable transportation regulations. At DGM, we can pinpoint the relevant regulations and craft a strategic plan to guarantee your shipments are within compliance. With over three decades of hands-on experience in hazardous materials transportation across various modes of transportation, our team is well-versed with the practical aspects of preparing these shipments within compliance.

Evade Civil Penalties with DGM’s Expertise

Breaking hazardous materials rules can be costly. A fine, called a ‘civil penalty’ in 49 CFR, can be issued for many types of violations, including:

  • General requisites
  • Offeror requirements applicable to all hazardous materials
  • Offeror requirements specific to certain hazardous materials

A single violation could set you back by as much as $78,376. However, if this breach results in fatalities, severe illnesses, or substantial property damage, this penalty can soar to $182,877.
