Hazardous Materials Packaging and Transportation Service
To better serve the NCI scientific community, a Hazardous Materials Courier
service has been established for users of the NCI-Frederick Research
Technology Program (RTP). By utilizing the courier to transport potentially
hazardous chemical, biological or radiological materials, RTP users are
assured of compliance with federal transportation laws. Our couriers are
certified in all aspects of hazardous shipping and meet all U.S. Department
of Transportation and international requirements. In operating this service,
the NCI-Frederick assumes all liability for the transport of dangerous
goods between NIH-Bethesda and NCI-Frederick. The courier service can
be scheduled by completing the NCI-Frederick's
Request for Shipment form. This form must be submitted electronically
and printed, signed and faxed to the Environment,
Health and Safety Program at 301-846-6269 at least 24 hours prior
to the day of shipment. Upon receipt of the authorized form, the courier
will pick up, package, label and deliver your samples with appropriate
documentation to the designated NCI-Frederick laboratory. The fee for
this service is $30 per package.
All shipments
must comply fully with federal and state laws that govern
the transport of hazardous materials. Noncompliance with applicable
regulations may be subject to legal penalties.
