Hiya ladies and gents,

I’ve searched all over the CFR 49 and similar pubs and databases trying to find the answer to this question. I’m hoping a HAZMAT guru can help educate me.

I fairly routinely have to transport very large quantities (≈100) of K bottles of oxygen via land, sea, and air. These bottles almost always come to me packaged 16 to a wooden pallet, stacked in tiers of 4 bottles, each tier resting on scalloped 4”x4” wooden dunnage, and all of it banded to the pallet with steel straps.

My question is how high can I stack these tiers of K bottles? Assuming I don’t approach or exceed the weight limits of the pallets, can I stack the bottles 5 or 6 tiers high? I ask because storage space is often at a premium, so if I can safely and legally store/transport 96 bottles across 4 pallet positions instead of 6 I would like to.

Much thanks in advance.

We’ve had this spill “dried” onto the floor of our fire station for a few weeks now. It’s “Maintex Lime Go” and the label says it’s got phosphoric acid in it.

Anybody have an idea how to clean it? Not overly worried about hazards or anything we’re just trying to clean it.

I just wanna let everyone know that if you were ever involuntarily committed into a mental institution, you can get your Hazmat… I just got mine today… long story short nearly 10 years ago I tried marijuana and it was laced I was hallucinating and I was in the mental hospital for one week… I was very worried I was not gonna be able to pursue my trucking career to it’s fullest potential and would be denied my hazardous materials endorsement… the best jobs I could find without Hazmat was around 90,000 a year doing lots of physical labor local and horrible over the road jobs… around $80,000-90,000 a year 65+ hours a week never home… whereas I have had buddies that had their hazardous materials endorsement working local jobs with decent schedules who were hauling jet fuel, and petroleum making well over $180,000 a year with little to no labor whatsoever… well I finally went for it and I did say yes I have been involuntarily committed into a mental institution on the application and I did indeed manage to pass the background check and got approved to haul hazardous materials this was such such a huge relief off my chest I was working at McLane’s doing crazy unbelievable shifts 20+ hours having a ridiculously hard time sleeping with the trucks moving unloading the whole thing by hand making 1500 a week if I’m lucky and I’m like it would really be nice if I could get a much easier job making more than double the money… turns out apparently they usually don’t deny you for a very temporary holdings in a mental health facility. They usually deny you if you were involuntarily committed on grounds of committing a serious crime and pleading, not guilty by reason of insanity. Those are usually the kind of situations you may be denied for mental health but as long as your record is clean, and you’re not currently on any strong antipsychotic medication‘s or have a history of it, you do have a good chance and I want to let you know to go for it! I’m putting this out there because I wish there was information like this online when I was trying to figure this out I’ve done a lot of stressing over this and I wish I would’ve known what I know now sooner

I keep coming across the CHMM certification but it's always in Industrial Hygeine and Safety groups. Do many emergency responders have the CHMM designation? In their list of qualifying experience it mentions planning for and responding to hazmat emergencies. I'm thinking that's mostly on the contractor side and not firefighters?

I'm trying to evaluate if it's worth pursuing. I'm an industrial firefighter where 99% of our focus is hazmat and I meet the requirements for it. But if I'm just uselessly padding my resume with safety and heygeine designation I'm not sure if it's worth it in my position.

I wasn’t thinking this through but I washed off a bunch of stain sealer out of a container and into the ground (side yard). Should I be concerned about this getting into the well / ground water?

HELL YEAH!!!

Hi everyone, I'm looking to get some rough estimates for the removal of vermiculite and vinyl flooring in my mother's home on Vancouver Island. The house is approximately 880 sq ft with vermiculite insulation and 475 sq ft of vinyl tile. My mother is immunocompromised and in the early stages of dementia. Having multiple contractors come in for inspections could be overwhelming and distressing for her. To minimize this, I'd like to get an idea of potential costs beforehand so we can narrow down our options and limit the number of visits.

If anyone has had similar flooring removed and vermiculite in the past, particularly on Vancouver Island, I would be incredibly grateful if you could share what you paid or any pricing estimates you received. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Old 1920’s house had a stop work order because of asbestos ceiling. They had someone come in and take it out. How can you trust the fibers are not just resting on every surface and fly around everywhere once the trades start selling and cutting into the wood?

Has anyone on here taken the level s test. After taking the level 3, I’m slightly nervous as the questions were beyond tricky, so much so they’ve started providing an additional prep course at alot of training facilities based on the number of people (who have been in the industry prior to the new regulated courses and with years of experience) who failed the exam. In my community I heard owners of environmental firms have failed the level s.

Is this everyone’s experience? I’ve studied. I’ve taken the courses but it’s nerve wracking to think I could fail based on how questions are asked.

I am the consultant for the owner to demo an industrial building and managing the demo contract. Initial hazmat report completed didn't include TCLP testing. After tender and award, demo contractor is now unable to safely dispose of wood painted with lead paint and has requested for TCLP testing. When this was brought to the hazmat consultant who prepared the report, they have indicated that the number of samples is requested by the demo contractor and not determined by the hazmat consultant. Per hazmat consultant Representative sampling is not accepted.

Could someone please clarify who determines the number of samples to be tested. As well is representative sampling accepted for TCLP testing.

After attending a recent class, all of our material simply suggested fire turn-out gear. Its looking likely that I'll be going for the specialist class for Nuclear and Radiation response so I figured I should know my options.

Are lead lined suites still a thing? Are they better then fire turn out gear? Seems like they would be. Would those military-grade CBRN suites be better for high levels of rad?

Thanks in advance!

What criteria are used to determine if liquid investigation derived waste is hazardous vs. nonhazardous waste?

Would it be a bad idea to ship acetylene via ground shipping. In ups and fedex hazmat program it is allowed. Just seems like a bad idea to me. But I thought they would not allow it if they thought the same.
