Hazardous Materials Regulations

Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) are a set of rules established by the U.S. government to ensure the safe handling, transportation, and disposal of dangerous materials. These materials can pose risks to health, safety, and the environment if not managed properly. The regulations cover a wide range of substances, including chemicals, waste, and explosives, and require proper labeling, packaging, and documentation. Organizations must train employees and follow specific protocols to minimize accidents and ensure compliance. HMR aims to protect people and the environment from the potential dangers associated with hazardous materials.
