**149 dedicated hazmat positions**

## DOT and  Hazardous Materials (Dangerous Goods)

- The US Department of Transportation (DOT) regulates the transportation of hazardous materials by all modes of transportation within (to, from, and through) the United States.
- This includes hazardous materials carried by passengers and crewmembers.

## 49 CFR

- 49 CFR (Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations) is where many US Department of Transportation regulations are found.
- Parts 171-180 of 49 CFR contain the Hazardous Materials Regulations (the “HMR”).

## Definitions49 CFR 171.8

- Hazmat Employer
- Hazmat Employee
- Hazardous Material
- If an FAA certified repair station is a Hazmat Employer it must comply with the Hazardous Materials Training Requirements outlined in 49 CFR

## Hazmat TrainingRequirements - Subpart H

- 172.700 – Purpose and Scope
- 172.702 – Applicability and responsibility for training and testing
- 172.704 – Training requirements
- General awareness
- Function specific training
- Safety training
- Security awareness training

## What is a hazardous material?

**The DOT definition:**
**“****Hazardous Material means a substance or material, which has been determined by the Secretary of Transportation to be capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property when transported in commerce, and which has been so designated.”**
**	****	****	****	****	****--49 CFR 171.8**

**So what does that mean?**

## Hazardous Material must be Classified for Transportation

- To aid in determining when something is a hazardous material for transportation, _the_ _DOT classifies material into nine different hazard classes_.
- Each of these hazard classes has its own technical and scientific criteria.

## Hazard Classes

- There are nine DOT hazard classes.  Some classes are further divided into divisions.

**1 **- Explosives
**2 **- Gases
**3 **- Flammable Liquids
**4 **- Flammable Solids
**5 **- Oxidizers & Organic Peroxides

**6 **- Poisons & Infectious Substances
**7 **- Radioactive Materials
**8 **- Corrosives
**9 **- Miscellaneous

## Identifying Hazardous Materials in Packages

- The DOT usually requires the _outer_ packagings of  hazardous materials packages to have certain hazard labels and markings.
- It is important to recognize these DOT hazard labels and markings since they can identify packages that contain hazardous materials.

**Gasoline**
**UN 1203**

## DOT Hazard Labels

- DOT Hazard labels
- Cargo Aircraft Only label

*DOT Chart 2 has a listing and display of DOT hazard labels & markings.*

**ACETONE**

-  non-hazardous shipments

## ORM-D-AIR

- Consumer Commodity

**ORM-D-AIR**

**Some hazmat packages are not required to have DOT hazard labels.  A package of spray paint may look like this:**

*To:*
*From:*

## Labels on Product Containers

- The DOT does not require hazard labels or markings on inner packagings.  But consumer and worker safety regulations do require product containers to indicate when they contain hazardous products.

**CAUTION: Contents flammable.**

**WARNING****: Reacts violently **
**with water.**

## More Restrictive, But Not Less

- Air Carriers may choose to have more restrictive hazmat rules than the US DOT but cannot be less restrictive.

- _Federal employees do not enforce air carrier policies that are more restrictive that the regulations._

## Not all “Chemicals” are Hazardous Materials

- Many industrial and consumer products contain a variety of chemicals.
- That does not mean that they are hazardous materials.

## Some Common Hazardous Materials used in aviation

- Oxygen generators
- Paint
- Compressed gas cylinders
- Fire Extinguishers
- Smoke Hoods
- Tritium signs
- Batteries

## Non-Hazardous (Not Restricted) These items do not normally meet the DOT definition of a hazardous material or are excepted from the regulations:

**Hydrogen peroxide 1%–7% solution **(drugstore strength)
**Laundry detergent **(household)
**Motor oil **(non-waste)
**Pressurized sports balls****1**
**Empty SCUBA cylinders—(less than  40 psi)**
**Water-based paints**

**Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)**
**Beer & wine**
**Blue ice packs**
**Candles & incense**
**Cooking oils**
**Glue: **Children’s / School /   	    Carpenter
