\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

As we struggle through the new world of quarantine and working from home, the US Department of Transportation (DOT) recognizes that many workers can\u2019t do that in our transportation system. Obviously, truck drivers and other carrier personnel can\u2019t work from home. But they\u2019re entitled to the safest possible working conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The DOT has taken a number of steps to assist during the pandemic. For example, they\u2019ve developed a new system for shipping non-bulk packages of hand sanitizer with reduced requirements. Smaller packages (not exceeding 8 gallons) will not be required to be in UN specification packaging, and hazard communication requirements are significantly reduced. But a new <\/span>Notice<\/span><\/a> from the Pipelines and Hazardous Materials Administration (PHMSA) has taken a step further in a novel way to the access of carrier staff who don\u2019t actually drive but may handle contaminated packages, to hand sanitizers and disinfectants. This plan uses the Materials of Trade exemption in 49 CFR section 173.6.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, the previous notice allowed carriers to transport hand sanitizers with fewer requirements to their customers. But carriers are in a unique situation. As an essential business, they must handle packages from the public and industry which may carry the virus. It\u2019s believed that the <\/span>novel coronavirus can live for up to 24 hours on cardboard surfaces<\/span><\/a>, and longer on non-porous ones such as metal. Clearly, safety of these workers requires access to hand sanitizers and disinfectants, and plenty of them. This has led PHMSA to create their newest notice, which makes it easier for carriers to transport sanitizers and disinfectants for their own staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

The notice sounds in many ways like the standard provisions that already exist for Materials of Trade in section 173.6. The provisions apply to road shipment only, and the substances (mostly Class 3 for sanitizers and Class 8 for disinfectants) must meet thee hazard class, quantity, packaging, hazard communication, and aggregate gross weight requirements specified in that section. However, instead of being intended for use by the driver only, materials under this notice can also be used by \u201cemployees who directly support the operations of the carrier, such as by sorting packages, loading and unloading packages, and driving delivery vehicles.\u201d It\u2019s a subtle distinction, but it recognizes that the overall term \u201ccarrier\u201d can extend to many more workers than the drivers themselves, and they all need to be protected.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Notice is valid for 90 days (unless the emergency is deemed to end before then) and can be found in full at <\/span>https:\/\/www.phmsa.dot.gov\/sites\/phmsa.dot.gov\/files\/2020-04\/Carrier%20MOTS%20Relief%20Notice.pdf<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
