Safe transportation of hazardous materials‍

Any deviation from the necessary safety protocols can lead to safety hazards, environmental harm, and regulatory penalties. According to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), there were over 1,400 hazardous materials incidents reported in the US in 2021 alone.

Incorrect packaging and labeling can lead to shipment delays, loss of product, and regulatory fines. According to a study by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), mislabeled or improperly packaged hazardous materials account for 10-15% of all hazardous materials incidents. To ensure that your products are packaged and labeled correctly for safe and efficient transportation, trust LAX Freight – we have the expertise and experience to help you avoid these types of costly mistakes.

AN ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY WE TAKE SERIOUSLY

As mentioned, chemical transportation can be hazardous, if not destructive; it all depends on the kind of chemical in question. A chemical product can either cause harm to living organisms or pollute the environment. Cargo chemicals need to be handled by professionals who know what they are doing and who take their job seriously.

At LAX Freight, we understand the magnitude of what we do. We prioritize our clients’ cargo while simultaneously prioritizing the needs of our environment. Many of these chemicals are essential to the maintenance of our economy, but that should not come at the expense of our planet.
