[ RadSafe ] Rad user/hazmat employee training - more

[Marty.Bourquin at grace.com]

In fact the FAA has made it a goal to inspect every facility that ships 
HAZ Mat by air. (or at least thats what the inspector that showed up at 
our facility stated). We had no items of non-compliance by the way.  But 
he did state that he had filed an NOV on a company that morning with a 
proposed fine of $27,500 - no training.  

Another agency that has stepped up Haz Mat inspections is the FRA.  If 
you ship HazMat via rail you can expect an inspector to show up - the 
stated goal is once a year.

A colleague reminded me that the FAA also enforces hazmat employee 
training
requirements - and the FAA fines are even higher than the USDOT fines -
obscenely high, in fact.

My advice is if you aren't addressing HET requirements, you better get 
it
done, or be prepared to pay a steep price.

RADSAFERS,

 

I understand that "someone" EPA/OSHA (?) now classifies a person who
utilizes/uses radioactive material as a haz-mat employee.  That means
that I need to make sure all of my Rad-wokers have haz-mat training.

 

Does anyone know about this (does everyone know about this except ME)?

 

I need Reg. sentence/paragraph citations please...

 

Thanks,
