Recently, Amazon.com, Inc. paid a $91,000 civil penalty that the FAA proposed against the company for violating the DOT\u2019s Hazardous Materials Regulations. On September 16, 2013, Amazon shipped a package containing flammable liquid adhesive by air without the necessary shipping papers or emergency response information. The package also was not marked, labeled, or properly packaged and was leaking. It was later determined Amazon employees were not properly trained in preparing HAZMAT packages for shipment by air.<\/p>\n
Currently, the FAA is proposing a $325,000 civil penalty against Alfa Chemistry and a $77,000 civil penalty against Unilever BestFoods Inc. for also violating HAZMAT Regulations.<\/p>\n
In 2013, Alfa Chemistry employees shipped Acrolein, a toxic\/poisonous, flammable liquid, on two separate FedEx flights without the required shipping papers and emergency response information. One shipment emitted a strong, pungent odor which FedEx employees were unable to examine without a protective suit due to extreme eye, nose, and throat irritation. Acrolein is prohibited from being transported on passenger and cargo aircraft. In this case, Alfa Chmistry employees were also lacking in HAZMAT training and testing.<\/p>\n
On November 8, 2012, FedEx employees discovered a pump bottle of a flammable liquid styling spray and three aerosol cans of flammable gas hair spray in a BestFoods shipment. Both products, flammable and aerosol, are considered to be hazardous material. The pump bottle had leaked inside the package which was not declared as hazardous materials, and the materials were not properly classed, described, packaged, marked, labeled, and in proper condition for shipment. As a regular shipper of hazardous materials, BestFoods also did not provide emergency response information with the packaging and lacked in HAZMAT training for its employees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[109,110],"class_list":["post-194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-cfr-29-1910-1200dot-hazardous-materials-regulationsamazonfedex","tag-hazmat-hazmat-trainingoshahazard-communication-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":674,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194\/revisions\/674"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
