A. From looking over the FAA press release information I was
able to draw the following information. I used a tally system
when going through each one to get numbers for each of these,I
could possibly be off if I mistakenly double ticked any category
but I will show my calculations for each category I analyzed.
Out of 125 fines:
61.6 % involved being found by leaking packages and
by ground handlers. ( 77/125 = 0.616)
10.4 % involved oxygen generator's (13/125= 0.104)
4.8 % involved some type of beauty product/ aerosol type of
container or nail polish (6/125=0.048)
3.2% involved perfume/cologne (4/125= 0.032)
15.2 % involved paint/stain ( 19/125= 0.152)
4.8% involved batteries (6/125=0.048)
17.6% of fines were against airline companies (22/125=.176)
1.6% involved being found by a fire (2/125= 0.016)
5.6% involved being found by an odor (7/125=0.056)
7.2% were improperly labeled or had no labels at all (9/125=
0.072)
60% of the fines were hazardous materials other than oxygen
generators, perfume, paint, batteries. Primarily of flammable
materials. (75/125= 0.60)
B. Only two fines were specifically involving COMAT. In both
instances the airlines were minor airlines. In both instances the
COMAT wasn't properly labeled or contained the right
paperwork. The parties that needed to be notified weren't
notified either. One fine was substantially larger than the other,
but the fines weren't proportional in relation. The supporting
contractors were the ones with stricter policies that were the
cause of the fines to be issued, due to their findings of
negligence.
C. The right training could not be getting to the right people for
a number of reasons. These reasons may include:
New employees

Companies not tracking who is properly trained.
Trained employees weren't tested on knowledge.
Employees weren't paying attention to markings on packages,
put the articles on the wrong type of plane (passenger vs. cargo)
There is no standard SOP for companies and shipping.
Poor supervision of employees.
Possible solutions:
Companies establishing SOPs.
Developing of training programs/tests and proper documentation
of credentials for employees.
Good supervision staff and checklists prior to shipment
New employees are to be trailed and double checked when
handling hazardous materials.
Spot checks
1. development of percentages for criteria you select.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and
the International Air Transport Association (IATA) have set
rules regarding the transportation of dangerous goods by air for
all nations to follow. From March 2000 to February 2003, the
FAA was required to release fines that were greater than
$50,000 involving illegal transport of hazardous material. The
total amount of fines issued in that timeframe reached $12.3
million. Of the 125 fines stated, 86% ranged from $50,000 -
$100,000, while 14% were over $100,000. When looking at the
shipping company associated with hazardous shipment, FedEx is
mentioned 28% of time, but UPS steals the show with a
staggering 47%. These undeclared shipments were plagued with
70% being shipped via a fiberboard box.
1. Analysis of company owned material (COMAT) when it is
shipped in the Airline industry and its supporting contractors.
DOT Hazardous Material Regulations as well as international
regulations from the ICAO and IATA regulate Air Carrier
Company Materials (COMAT). There were 17 instances
involving COMAT out of the 125 fines, and 13 of the 17, or

76%, were related to oxygen generators. The most common
items are chemicals, oxygen generators, fuels, unpurged parts,
batteries and fire extinguishers, (U.S. DOT, 2000).
1. The training issues raised by this list. We know that the right
training is not going to the right people so come up with
explanations and/or solutions (not fines and threats of jail time).
Training issues can be seen throughout the fines. The biggest
that I saw were the employees that are handling the frontlines
of FedEx, UPS, and major airline carriers. They are accepting
cargo without knowing the content fully. Packages should be
opened to verify contents of hazardous material and ensuring
that it is package properly. Mistakes were made shipping
hazardous cargo on airlines with passengers. Those companies
should also consider a course training on how to package
hazardous materials for transport. Standards for approved
shipping containers should also be considered by the FAA.
One observation is the statement at the beginning about how
most of these fines are based on undeclared shipments, which
are known or not known by the consignee and resulted in
incident. Another observation is that these fines are on the
extreme end of the spectrum, as basic fines start at $493 per
incident as a $50,000 minimum means multiple mishaps or
mistakes during hazardous material handling. Of the 125 listed
incidents, there were a few that were fined multiple times with
similar fine amounts, as the fines are relatively small
comparable to the incidents. There were multiple packaging
issues that were later discovered to be leaking, which the
penalty served was high comparable to the materials shipped.
76 of the 125 incidents were found from the material leaking
through the container or packaging and discovered by material
handlers. 79 of the 125 incidents were discovered by a ground
handling employee, also noting that 9 of the 125 incidents were
uncovered without the product leaking. Of the 125 incidents,

100 were discovered in the process of distribution. Further, 13
of the shipments were stated to involve undeclared Oxygen
Generators, which are strictly prohibited for their byproducts,
volatility, and hazards associated with rapid explosion when
combined with combustibles.
108 incidents were lumped in the range of $50,000 to $100,00
with others spread sparsely between $100,000 and $1-million
US dollars. An approximate fine amount when including all
fines spread across $50,000 increments sits the average fine at
around $85,000 for each of the 125 incidents, which helps fund
hazard awareness and training opportunities to industry
employees.
When searching through the company owned material incidents,
it seems ignorance over the issue is apparent and lacking
through the airline industry. Some of the companies such as
FedEx are cautious, or so it seems, to find suspicious packages
that could harm handlers or leak in transit. HAZMAT training
such as general awareness and familiarization, function specific,
label recognition, safety, and training records should be
emphasized to train front-line material processors before
material entry to the logistics system. Another critical aspect to
this problem is packaging, which seems to highlight another
issue of material and business integrity over hazardous material
shipments. The higher fines associated within the report
highlight multiple mishaps, which uncovers various problems
areas that could be decreased by employee training and
awareness. Specifically, one incident had 19 occasions of
transporting hazardous materials on an aircraft, as the pilot was
unaware of the materials onboard, which increasingly puts the
passengers and crew in danger with each occasion.
The materials regulated as COMAT should only be transported
by an airline that has a FAA approved Hazardous
Materials/Dangerous Goods program, and without the program

the airline must process its COMAT through other carriers for
transport. One thing I did not know through reading the weekly
material was about some of the examples of hazardous materials
that already exist on aircraft such as cabin fire extinguishers,
radioactive exit signs, rain repellent, first aid kits, life rafts, life
vests, cargo Halon extinguishers and unpurged fuel control
units. These items are all safe for transport, but must be
declared, properly stowed, handled, marked, and prepped for
shipment.
The training aspects of the incidents seem to draw awareness to
the increase of fines over repeat findings. Increasing the fines
would not correct the issue, as it may only increase the
covertness of concealing the hazardous materials. Increasing
the Department of Transportation’s no-notice HAZMAT
inspections of processing facilities should increase awareness at
the management level of logistics. Many of the incidents listed
are lumped, which could highlight inspection findings and
facility visits. The training material is open-source as
businesses are responsible for their own employees training
when dealing with potential hazardous materials, at levels
equivalent to the employees’ frequency of material handling.
With the no-notice inspections, the ability to revoke HAZMAT
certification of processing certain types of material can affect
businesses more than an imposed fine. Loss of business from
decertification may increase strategic awareness through desired
need maintain operations and protect corporate investments.
Fines in the amount of $50,000 may not directly affect larger
businesses such as Spirit Airlines and FedEx, as that $50,000
can go a long way when turned to employee training, but can be
considered just the cost of business that is revealed through the
mismanagement of logistics and employee training. Inspection
criteria and training should spotlight packaging as a method of
protection, labeling, and safety.

Analyze and then discuss the FAA press releases, the document
is attached. Be careful to ANALYZE, not react to, the list of
proposed fines, there is a lot of information to be found from
careful analysis. Analysis requires calculation not observation
so you will need to set measurable parameters and then do the
calculations. Reading the fines it is easy to recognize that many
of the fines were based upon the leaking packages, that is
observation not analysis. Saying that some percentage of the
total number fines represented leaking packages is analysis;
saying that most of the incidents were caught by ground
handling personnel is observation, saying that a specific
percentage of all of the fines represent cases where ground
handling personnel identified the problem is analysis. You are
required to do analysis. After analysis provide answer to the
following questions.
A. What are the basic results of your analysis. Provide a
discussion of your findings based upon the scientific analysis
you have conducted. This requires mathematical calculations
and development of percentages for criteria you select.
B. Analysis of company owned material (COMAT) when it is
shipped in the Airline industry and its supporting contractors.
C. The training issues raised by this list. We know that the right
training is not going to the right people so come up with
explanations and/or solutions (not fines and threats of jail time).
