Questions You Should Ask When Hiring an Air Charter Company to Transport Hazardous Cargo
Today, in a post 9-11 world there is and should be continued concern for the transport of hazardous materials. Air Transit Solutions is diligent in maintaining these high standards. As a service we are providing the following list of questions that should be asked of any air carrier your company is considering in transporting hazardous materials.
- Is your company a certified air carrier?
- Can we receive a copy of your Compliance Package?
- Are all your employees properly trained and does your company insist employees maintain up-to-date hazmat training?
- Is your training function specific for the type of hazardous materials you transport?
- Is the aircraft used for this service under the operational control of your company 100% of the time?
- Is your company currently under investigation for violation of Federal Regulations regarding the transport of hazardous materials?
- Do you have any incidents or accidents on record? (Keep in mind that accidents can occur that are not considered an incident of violation.)
