Abstract

This research analyses current practices and trends related to the transportation of hazardous waste materials with special emphasis on the Department of Transportation's guidelines for transporting contaminants. Several major problems associated with hazardous waste are addressed including the following tracking and documenting of the movement, notification requirements of imports and exports, labelling and placement of safety markers, initial and recurrent records of employee training for handling contaminants, compliance and violations. Additionally, this study will analyse the impact of the regulations and guidelines for the transport of hazardous materials using the 2001 Penalty Action Report from the Department of Transportation (OHMS,2002) (A)
