ACCIDENT NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
In the event of a reportable incident involving radioactive material, notify
the licensing agency as soon as practical. The operator is also required to
notify, at the earliest practical moment, the U.S. DOT at 1-800-424-8802
of an accident that occurs during the course of transportation (including
loading, unloading, and temporary storage) in which fire, breakage,
spillage, or suspected contamination occurs involving shipment of
radioactive materials.
HAZMAT TRAINING
The U.S. DOT regulations require every hazmat employer to train, test,
certify, and maintain records for each hazmat employee. Hazmat training
applies to anyone who transports or prepares for transport radioactive
materials. Refresher training is required every three years.
