Organizations Responsible for Regulating Transport of Hazardous Materials
In the United States
The
US Department of Transportation (DOT)
establishes regulations and training requirements for the transport of hazardous materials by land, water, or air within, from, or through the United States. These requirements are referred to as the Hazardous Materials Regulation and can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 49 CFR Parts 100-185.
The
US Postal Service (USPS)
regulates the transport of materials that are mailed to, from, or within the US. The USPS regulations are found in 39 CFR.
The US
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
through the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. regulates the packaging and labeling of specimens that may contain biohazardous materials.
Internationally
The
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
is an agency of the United Nations that recommends practices for civil air transport internationally and publishes detailed instructions for safe international transport of dangerous goods by air.
The
International Air Transport Association (IATA)
is an airline membership organization. IATA regulations must be followed, if the hazardous material will be shipped internationally on a
member airline
. IATA regulations are at least as stringent as ICAO regulations and are therefore often used by shippers who package and transport dangerous goods, regardless of the air carrier. Note that IATA rules must be followed when shipping via FedEx and UPS.
