  3. POP Packaging (Performance Oriented Packaging) Meets Materials of Lading Not Reusable Vessels may or may not be DOT approved containers (Silvex example) HAZMAT Transportation

  4. HAZMAT Transportation • Greater than Materials of Lading amounts (8 gal, 66 lb ,440 lb) • Requires additional documented training • Requires DOT approved containers • Does not require CDL • Up to 1000 lbs

  5. HAZMAT Transportation • DOT Approved Container ? Yes/No? • Will have UN number • Jerricans (Maybe) • Mark III Fuel Tanks (Exempt) • Plastic Fuel Containers (Maybe) • Spring Loaded Safety Cans (Yes) • Sig Bottles (Exempt) • Dolmars (OSHA variance) • Drip Torches (No) • Truck Mounted Fuel Containers (Maybe)
