Violations and enforcement
['Hazmat: Highway']
- Any shipper or carrier who is found to be not complying with the requirements described in the hazardous materials regulations is subject to fines.
Anyone shipping or transporting hazardous materials is responsible for following the requirements prescribed in the hazardous materials regulations (HMR). However, anyone found not complying with parts of the regulations that relate to them may be fined.
Except for a minimum penalty of $617 for violations related to training, the HMR does not have minimum penalty amounts. The HMR has a maximum penalty amount of $102,348 for each violation. However, if the violation results in death, serious illness or injury, or substantial destruction of property, the maximum penalty is increased to $238,809. It’s also important to note that if the violation is a continuing one, each day is considered a separate offense.
