Violation of DOT Hazardous Materials Regulations
The Federal Aviation Administration proposed a $165,000 civil penalty against Federal Express Corp. for allegedly violating Department of Transportation hazardous materials regulations. “FAA alleges that the FedEx improperly shipped a fiberboard box containing a chemical oxygen generator on a FedEx cargo flight from Los Angeles to the company’s package sorting facility in Memphis where employees discovered the shipment. FedEx offered the shipment for transportation when it was not packaged, labeled, marked, classed, described, documented, or in condition for shipment as required by regulations. FedEx also failed to ensure employees were trained to properly package and handle hazardous materials, and did not make available at all times the required emergency response information.”
