A Note About Hazmat and FAA
Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011Recently, we received this note from one of our clients. I’d like to thank them for the kind words, and share it with our online community because it has some helpful information about Hazmat shipping by air.
“Just a note to let you know, we had a visit from an FAA hazardous materials agent today. We shipped a used fuel pump back to Honda on the 11th per their request. We shipped it air per the Airbill info that Honda supplied. He said that they check all air shipments of Hazmat materials and needed copies of my training certification and asked a few questions, he had copies of the Airbill. Said he checks Fedex daily for all Hazmat airbills. He also said we should call the emergency response number that we are listing to make sure that it is valid and current, and that we are covered under their contract. I let him know that we use KPA for our training; he said they are the best. I asked and he said everything was okay, left a Hazmat transportation safety infopack. Also said they are focused on air shipments and not ground shipping, and was surprised that Honda did not ship the part by ground. He pretty much told me that I should refuse to ship by air.”

KPA Covers Electronic Devices In EHS Regulatory Audits
Tuesday, February 8th, 2011As part of a facility inspection report, KPA engineers always check for functionality and safety of standard electronic devices, and they are very instrumental in helping dealerships keep work environments clear of shock hazards to employees. This is very helpful because electrical and wiring methods are number seven on the top ten most frequently cited standards in workplace inspection.
While Federal regulatory agencies are increasing citations and penalties for electronic equipment malfunctions in the auto industry, it is important to remember that KPA is reliable and helps protect our client’s reputation for safety.
