Can’t find what you’re looking for?
How can Global Hazmat assist during an unexpected government inspection?
We provide direct expert guidance to help your team navigate findings. We assist in gathering required compliance documentation, interpreting inspector notes, drafting formal corrective action responses, and implementing the necessary fixes on site to close out the inspection file.
What is the benefit of an ongoing compliance retainer versus a one-time service?
Hazmat regulations evolve constantly. An ongoing compliance retainer gives your team direct, priority access to our advisors for daily operational questions, document reviews, and ongoing regulatory guidance as your business grows—keeping your operations continuously audit-ready.
What penalties or consequences can my company face for non-compliance?
Fines for violating dangerous goods and hazardous materials regulations can range from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the severity and jurisdiction. Beyond financial penalties, regulatory agencies can issue stop-work orders, seize non-compliant shipments, revoke operating permits, or hold company directors personally liable for severe environmental or safety incidents.
What happens if our product falls under multiple transport regulations (e.g., Road and Air)?
Multi-modal shipping requires adhering to the most stringent regulation governing any leg of the transport route. For instance, a chemical that is fully exempt for ground transport under TDG or 49 CFR may still be strictly regulated or prohibited under IATA air transport rules. We review your entire distribution pathway to ensure your packaging, labeling, and documentation satisfy every transport mode involved.
