  1. 49 CFR Function Specific Training Purpose: To teach employees how to handle hazardous material shipments they will come across in their day to day operations at Oklahoma State University

  2. Your Dangerous Goods Unit is: Donna Morris Barbara Dobson Seth Becker

  3. DO NOT handle any damaged hazardous material shipment. Further DO NOT handle ANY damaged package that is leaking. Report any damaged hazardous material shipment to the Dangerous Goods Unit!

  4. DO NOT receive, accept, or sign for any damaged hazardous material shipment from a delivering carrier Report the problem to the Dangerous Goods Unit (DGU)

  5. Certain Infectious Substances are covered by other regulatory agencies and by distinct Federal Laws in addition to 49CFR. Center for Disease Control (CDC) “Select Agents” fall into this category.

  6. Federal Law requires strict security for Select Agents DO NOT release information about Select Agent shipments! Report any inquiries of Select Agent shipments to the Dangerous Goods Unit. University picture ID cards are required for receipt of a select agents shipment.

  7. Non-Select Agent Infectious Substances will be approved for delivery by any person who has received this training. This includes all delivery personnel.

  8. All radioactive shipments are regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) as well as the D.O.T’s 49CFR

  9. Notify the Dangerous Goods Unit (DGU) immediately upon seeing a radioactive shipment. A DGU member will take charge of the shipment. The University’s Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) must be notified upon arrival of the shipment. Delivery cannot be completed until the RSO approves the shipment for delivery.

  10. Only employees with radiology training can handle radioactive shipments. UMS radiology trained employees are: Barbara Dobson Seth Becker Jared Johnson Joel Pennie Ryan Watts

  11. University Mailing Services (UMS) recognizes that shipments leave commerce when they received and signed for from the carrier. Further UMS recognizes that shipments enter commerce when they are presented to a carrier for shipment. 49CFR may not require some of this training because the handling occurs outside of commerce. Out of concern for its employees, UMS requires this training whether the shipment is in or out of commerce.
