How do I ship hazardous materials? Do the regulations apply to very small quantities?

The Department of Transportation (DOT) regulates shipping of all hazardous materials, even small quantities. The regulations are quite complex, and require training and certification in order to ship hazardous materials. EHS staff coordinate and ship hazardous materials for university activities. Please contact EHS at least two business days in advance to coordinate hazardous materials or research material shipment. Please also refer to theĀ Hazardous Materials Shipping and Receiving Guide.
