One hazmat packaging or labeling mistake can cost up to $102,348 per violation under U.S. DOT regulations before accounting for shipment delays, cleanup costs, and reputational damage.
In 2025, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) took enforcement action against companies that violated the Hazardous Materials Regulations, reinforcing that shipping compliance isn't optional.
Swipe through to learn the most common hazardous materials packaging and labeling mistakes and how to avoid them.

Every year, workers suffer life-changing injuries because hazardous energy wasn't properly isolated before maintenance or servicing began. Many of these incidents involve preventable violations, such as failing to verify zero energy, failing to lock out all energy sources, or removing another worker's lock without authorization.
The reality is simple: one shortcut can unexpectedly energize a machine, turning a routine task into a fatal incident.

One HazCom program for every chemical? That's where many workplaces get it wrong.
Not every hazardous chemical can be managed with standard Hazard Communication training. Carcinogens, pyrophores, and highly reactive chemicals often require additional training because the hazards and the controls are fundamentally different.
The biggest risk isn't always the chemical itself. It's assuming your existing training covers it.

The Incident Command System (ICS) is the standardized framework used nationwide to manage emergencies, from natural disasters to hazardous materials incidents. It helps organizations establish clear roles, improve communication, and coordinate response efforts when every second counts.
While ICS 100 isn't legally required for every worker, it's often mandatory for emergency responders, government personnel, contractors, and anyone expected to operate within the Incident Command System.
Before you assume this certification doesn't apply to your role, read our latest blog to find out who actually needs it and why.

Under the EPA's RCRA regulations, generator status is based on the amount and type of hazardous waste generated each calendar month, and it determines key compliance requirements, including waste accumulation, inspections, emergency preparedness, and personnel responsibilities.
If you're an EHS professional, environmental coordinator, or facility manager, understanding your generator category is essential for maintaining compliance and avoiding costly violations.
Our carousel explains the three hazardous waste generator categories and what they mean for your facility.

Wildfires in California during the 1970s exposed a critical problem: responders had the equipment and personnel but lacked a common command structure. The result was confusion, communication failures, and delayed decisions. Those lessons led to the development of the Incident Command System (ICS), which is now used nationwide.
ICS 200 builds on those principles by teaching supervisors and team leaders how to manage expanding incidents, coordinate resources, and maintain effective command when complexity increases.
When every decision affects lives, leadership can't be improvised.

Lithium-ion batteries power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles, but when shipped incorrectly, they can become a serious transportation hazard. For shippers, warehouse teams, hazmat employees, and logistics professionals, that's a reminder that every package matters.
A mislabeled package, exposed battery terminals, or incorrect documentation can lead to shipment delays, regulatory penalties, or, in the worst cases, thermal runaway and fires during transport.
If your job involves preparing, packaging, or shipping lithium-ion batteries, understanding the regulations isn't optional; it's essential.
Our latest blog provides a step-by-step guide to shipping Li-ion batteries safely and in compliance with DOT requirements.

Anhydrous ammonia is classified as a highly hazardous chemical under OSHA's Process Safety Management (PSM) standard because even small equipment failures can escalate into toxic releases, facility shutdowns, and serious injuries if left undetected. Facilities with 10,000 pounds or more of ammonia are subject to OSHA's PSM requirements due to the potential consequences of a release.
That's why effective inspections go beyond checking PPE and emergency exits.
Our checklist highlights the inspection points experienced refrigeration professionals never overlook.

Turning off a machine doesn't mean it's safe to work on.
Stored electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, or thermal energy can remain trapped inside equipment even after it's been shut down. Every year, workers suffer life-changing injuries because hazardous energy wasn't properly isolated before maintenance began.
Learn how to identify hazardous energy sources, follow OSHA-ANSI compliant LOTO procedures, and work safely with our OSHA-ANSI Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Certificate Training.
