enhance research and development
while ensuring compliance and safety for the public and the environment.

TMO
provides technical assistance and guidance regarding transportation-related
program planning, problem solving, regulatory compliance, carrier/modal
selection, traffic management operations, and packagings qualification
and selection. TMO is accountable for packaging and transportation
cost control, operational efficiency, regulatory compliance,
and technical assistance to all ORNL organizations and
programs.
The mission
of TMO is to ensure federal and state regulatory compliance
for off-site shipments while minimizing the risk of public
harm, environmental degradation, corporate fines and
penalties, and damage to corporate reputation. While
minimizing these risks, TMO also ensures that its management
system will meet customer requirements, satisfaction
and schedules.
TMO
provides safety oversight of all ORNL packaging and transportation
activities involving hazardous materials/wastes (hazmat).
This safety oversight effort consists of an ongoing series
of independent compliance reviews which target the systems,
processes and activities necessary to make off-site shipments
safely and in compliance with appropriate federal, state,
and local requirements, DOE orders and ORNL policies.
TMO also provides guidance for, and oversight of, on-site
packaging and transportation activities, maintains the
Principal Place of Business, and provides systematic
inspections and reviews of the programs in place to carry
out the laboratory's motor carrier activities. |
