What does the HMR refer to hazardous materials regulations?

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is responsible for developing and issuing the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-185). These regulations govern the transportation of hazardous materials (hazmat) in interstate, intrastate, and foreign commerce.

What are the hazardous materials as classified by the Department of Transportation?

The DOT classifies hazardous materials into nine classes, including explosives, gases, flammable liquids, flammable solids, oxidizers, poisons, radioactive materials, corrosives, and miscellaneous dangerous goods.

Where must a label be placed on transported materials according to the hazardous materials regulations (HMR)?

49 CFR 172.406 states that labels must be printed on or affixed to a surface (other than the bottom) of the package or containment device containing the hazardous material, located on the same surface of the package, and near the proper shipping name marking if the package dimensions are adequate.

What kinds of materials are covered by the Department of Transportation hazardous materials Regulations (HMR)?

HazMat include explosives, various types of gas, solids, flammable and combustible liquid, and other materials. Because of the risks involved and the potential consequences these risks impose, all levels of government regulate the handling of HazMat.

Do I need a hazardous materials safety permit?

If you are an intrastate, interstate, or foreign motor carrier transporting certain types and amounts of hazardous materials, you need a safety permit. The mission of the safety permit is to improve truck and bus safety on the highways.
