Press Release – FAA Proposes Civil Penalties Against Five Companies for Allegedly Violating Hazardous Materials Regulations



ATLANTA The U.S. Department
of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing civil
penalties ranging from $54,000 to $66,000 against five companies for allegedly
violating Hazardous Materials regulations.


In each case, the FAA alleges the shipments were not accompanied by shipping papers to indicate the hazardous nature of their contents and were not marked, labeled or packed in
accordance with the Hazardous Materials Regulations. The FAA also alleges the
companies failed to provide emergency response information and failed to ensure
their employees had received the required hazardous materials training.
