Hazmat Shipping Emergency Response Telecommunications Compliance:
As required by 49 CFR §172.604, a person who offers a hazardous material for transportation must provide an emergency response telephone number for use in the event of an emergency. With ChemTel’s Industry-leading emergency response telecommunications service you get more than just a telephone number. You gain access to a highly experienced team of emergency mitigation specialists trained to provide expedient, accurate, and reliable information and advice in the event of accidents, spills, leaks, fire, or vandalism involving hazardous materials shipments.
Time is of the essence during an emergency and the ability to receive reliable information in a timely fashion is the key to limiting your company’s liability and exposure from a haz mat transportation emergency. ChemTel operators are trained to effectively communicate information such as isolation and chemical incompatibilities, initial evacuation distances, immediate first aid measures, fire fighting procedures, and recommended personal protective equipment. ChemTel also relies on full time chemists, industrial toxicologists, and Certified Hazardous Materials Managers (CHMM) to provide additional support. Choosing a company to provide such critical emergency management services is not something that should be taken lightly. One of only four companies listed in the North American Emergency Response Guidebook, ChemTel is federally recognized by the US Department of Transportation and Transport Canada as a premier organization in the emergency telecommunications industry. Do not trust such an important compliance function to any less than a proven industry leader.
