Protecting the Environment
Q. My operations group needs
to transport samples to an offsite
laboratory for analysis tomorrow.
Can I just transport them to
the laboratory in my personal
vehicle or give them to a
contract courier?
A. In many countries material
that is classified as hazardous
for transport may not be
transported in personal colleague
vehicles. This applies to any
hazardous material, in any
quantity, from samples to bulk
containers. Contract carriers
may be used to ship these
materials under these rules,
but all appropriate regulatory
requirements for packages,
including markings, labels
and proper documentation,
would need to be completed
by a colleague who has
received hazardous material
transportation training.
Please consult with your
local environmental services
representative or contact
the Hazardous Materials
Transportation Coordinator
in Global Safety and
Environmental Affairs for
advice and assistance.
