LOGISTICS TRANSPORTATION REVIEW9 OCTOBER 2023Therefore, let's take a simple commodity that we see and utilize every day, Gasoline placard 1203. Gasoline placard 1203, when transported, is a hazardous material regulated by DOT. When a gasoline tanker offloads gasoline into an underground storage tank at a gasoline station, it becomes a hazardous substance regulated by OSHA and EPA. If some of the gasoline is spilled on the ground during the offloading, it then becomes a hazardous waste, regulated by OSHA, EPA, and DOT. Three different names for the same gasoline, depending on whether it was transported, in fixed storage, or spilt. So, the next time you see a hazmat driver in a truck, stop and offer to buy his or her lunch. These drivers lay it on the line every day ensuring that we have our gasoline, diesel, and many other chemicals readily available. OUR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS DRIVERS ARE THE UNSUNG ROAD HEROES WHO ENSURE THE SAFE TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS NECESSITIES, AND THEY DESERVE RECOGNITION FOR THEIR ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
