An exemption no one can produce.
A special permit is only as good as the copy on file, its expiration date and the party status behind it. Most operators find out it lapsed when someone asks to see it.
COMPLIANCE · DOT
Hazmat compliance that holds at every handoff.
For shippers, air carriers and couriers working under the Hazardous Materials Regulations, from Class 7 radiopharmaceuticals to every other class that moves by air and ground.
Where it breaks
Training that is assumed.
Every hazmat employer answers for its own people under 49 CFR Part 172 Subpart H. Few can show current training for every handler on a given shipment.
Acceptance decided at the cargo door.
Whether a material can fly, on which aircraft and in what quantity is a question for booking, not for the ramp.
