“This early version of the 49 CFR is imperative for all dangerous goods shippers, carriers and freight forwarders as well as those shipping hazardous materials or hazardous waste, because it provides the most current regulatory information to help keep companies up-to-date with new rules adopted between annual 49 CFR printings,” said Jeanne Zmich, Vice President of Regulatory Research with Labelmaster, a leading provider of solutions for hazardous material transport compliance. “The regulations are updated as of October 1st of each year, but the government’s release is not available until March.
That’s why we
developed the Early 49 CFR to get the regulations, with additional
user-friendly features, out as soon as possible,” she added.
Labelmaster’s
Early 49 CFR offers the same formatted information as Parts 100-185 of the
government release, but also includes additional unique and user-friendly
features, including:
- A four-digit number cross-reference table
- Easy-to-read Hazardous Materials Table
- A detailed index to easily find regulations
- Tabbed sections for easy reference
- A "How to Use the CFR" section
- Color displays of hazmat labels and placards
- Adhesive tabs to identify sections
The Early 49 CFR is offered in a variety of formats including standard and spiral bound books, USB drive, and online edition as well as included in book combos. The 6" x 9" book is contained in a single volume which is easier to use than the government’s two volume set.
“The
road to dangerous goods compliance is complicated and ever-changing and our
Early 49 CFR publication helps companies – big and small – make sense of and
comply with the regulations governing dangerous goods transportation,” said
Zmich.
