When are Hazardous Materials most hazardous?
When theyre released! The scene of an incident can be chaotic, so the
right actions may not always be obvious. Whom should I inform if Im involved
in an incident where a release or a suspected release of a hazardous material
has taken place in transportation? The regulations in 49 CFR 171.15 and 171.16
govern such situations. Two phases of incident reporting are required in the
regulations. Section 171.15 covers immediate telephonic notification following
an incident and ยง171.16 outlines written reporting procedures; both sections
are available here to view or print. Also available are the Incident Report Form
5800.1, a guidance document for preparing incident reports, the 2004 Emergency
Response Guidebook, and tabular summaries of hazardous materials incidents by
mode, year, state, hazard class, etc. |
