PHMSA (DOT) - Hazardous Material Regulations /Hazardous Waste Transport

The pick-up, transportation, and legal disposal of hazardous wastes are highly-regulated business activities with oversight by various federal and state agencies. Increasing agency supervision and cradle-to-grave liability makes compliance with the PHMSA (DOT) regulations a concern for any facility that employs hazardous materials and chemicals as part of their operations.
