Hazmat Carrier Requirements - Air
All US air carriers and foreign air carriers operating flights to or from US airports must comply with the 49 CFR requirements governing the acceptance, storage, loading, and transportation of hazardous materials by air. An air carrier, to whom the HMR applies, may not transport a hazardous material by aircraft unless each of its hazmat employees involved in that transportation have been trained and tested as required in 175.20 and 172.700-704. Initial training is required within 90 days for new employees or employees who assume new hazmat related responsibilities.
