Complete Hazardous Materials Compliance Solutions
Six ways we reduce your dangerous-goods risk.
Every engagement starts with one question: where is the risk hiding, and what will it cost you if it moves? From that answer, we recommend one of the six service lines below — or a combination. Pricing is transparent: hourly for scoping, fixed-fee for defined deliverables, retainer for ongoing advisory, per-seat or per-group for training.
DG Compliance Audits & Gap Assessments
A full-spectrum review of your dangerous-goods program against the regulations that actually apply to your lanes.
- Document review: SOPs, training records, SDS library, shipping papers, emergency response info
- Site walk-through (in person or remote) of packaging, segregation, labeling, and loading practices
- Classification spot-checks on live shipments
- Interviews with shippers, receivers, and frontline operators
- Written gap report ranked by regulatory severity and likelihood of enforcement
- Remediation roadmap with owners, costs, and deadlines
Purpose: Any operation that has not had a third-party DG audit in the past 18 months, is entering new modes or jurisdictions, or has just failed a carrier or regulator inspection.
Outcome: A defensible, prioritized gap list you can hand to your ops, legal, and finance teams — and use to avoid the next six-figure fine.
Training — IATA DGR, IMDG, 49 CFR, ADR
Function-specific dangerous-goods training that passes audit and actually changes behavior on the floor.
- Initial and recurrent training for shippers, packers, loaders, acceptance staff, and managers
- Per-seat public sessions (virtual, scheduled monthly) or private group sessions (on-site or virtual, customized to your products and lanes)
- Certificates of completion that meet IATA, IMO, DOT, and ADR documentation requirements
- Post-training assessment and role-based job aids
- Annual recurrent tracking and reminder service
Purpose: Anyone whose job function requires function-specific DG training under 49 CFR §172.704, IATA DGR 1.5, IMDG Ch. 1.3, or ADR 1.3.
Outcome: Trained operators who make correct classification, packaging, and documentation decisions — plus the paper trail to prove it.
Risk Advisory & Monthly Retainers
On-demand access to a senior DG advisor for teams that ship hazardous materials every week.
- Direct line to your assigned advisor (email + scheduled call slots)
- Classification questions, packaging decisions, SDS interpretation
- Regulatory change monitoring for your specific products and lanes
- Carrier variation tracking (airline-specific embargoes, port-specific requirements)
- Monthly written briefing on changes that affect you
- Priority scheduling for audits, training, and incident response
Purpose: Operations shipping DG weekly or more, or any team where a single classification error could ground a shipment, trigger a fine, or stop a production line.
Outcome: Fewer bad calls, faster answers, and a compliance posture that improves quarter over quarter instead of drifting.
Incident Response & Investigation (On-Call)
When something goes wrong — a fire, a leak, a grounded aircraft, a subpoena — you call one number.
- 24/7 on-call response for active incidents
- On-site or remote investigation
- Root-cause analysis using DG-specific methodology
- Regulator-facing documentation (FAA, PHMSA, USCG, Transport Canada, EU competent authorities)
- Witness preparation and interview support
- Corrective action plan and post-incident program hardening
Purpose: Any shipper, carrier, or 3PL facing an active DG incident, a regulator inquiry, or post-incident litigation support needs.
Outcome: A defensible record of what happened, why, and what you did about it — built by someone who speaks both the operator’s language and the regulator’s.
SDS & Labeling Review
Safety Data Sheets and shipping labels that survive audit in every jurisdiction you sell into.
- GHS-compliant SDS authoring or review (16-section format)
- UN proper shipping name verification
- Label, mark, and placard review for air, ground, ocean, and rail
- Multi-jurisdiction compliance (US HazCom, EU CLP, Canada WHMIS, UK CLP, etc.)
- Limited Quantity, Excepted Quantity, and Section II lithium battery exception review
- Digital SDS library setup and version control guidance
Purpose: Manufacturers, formulators, private-label brands, and anyone selling chemical products into multiple countries.
Outcome: A clean, current, defensible SDS and labeling system — and a process to keep it that way as formulations and regulations change.
Supply-Chain DG Program Build-Outs
A full dangerous-goods program, stood up across your sites, partners, and modes — in 90 to 180 days.
- Program charter and governance structure
- Written SOPs for every DG-handling function
- Training curriculum and delivery plan
- Carrier and 3PL acceptance protocols
- Audit and KPI framework
- Executive dashboard and board-level reporting
- Handoff to your internal team with 90 days of post-launch advisory included
Purpose: Companies scaling from ad-hoc DG shipping to a formal, defensible program. Typical triggers: a recent incident, a new product line, a new geography, or an M&A integration.
Outcome: A program your legal team will defend, your ops team will follow, and your auditors will approve.
