Shipping Hazardous Materials

Shipment of hazardous materials (Dangerous Goods) is governed by United Nations and US Government regulations. Risk Management Services (RMS) and Research Laboratory Safety Services (RLSS), Chemical and Biological Safety (ORCBS) are the units designated to coordinate hazardous materials shipments and to assist university personnel with compliance requirements of applicable regulations. All shipments of hazardous materials originating from the University of Arizona must be coordinated through one of the designated units as listed below. The Hazardous Materials Transportation Security Plan can be found here (.pdf, .doc). 

* Hazardous Materials Shipping Training is available through Risk Management Services, or the Research Laboratory & Safety Services, depending on the materials to be shipped.
