Model 3440 C–3
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 for shipment / transport by
roadway in the US. Shipment by air requires training every 2
years under IATA Dangerous Goods regulations.
