“So why are they always
busting my chops about
shipping a little package?”

10. DOT HazMat Training
In 1996 a subcontractor failed to properly mark, label and
package a shipment of oxygen generators in the plane’s cargo
hold.
This hazardous materials shipment caused a fire that quickly
brought down the plane into the Florida Everglades, killing all
of the passengers and crew aboard.

11. DOT HazMat Training
“Let me stop you right
there – our facility
almost never ships
HazMat items”
“We now have a policy
that we do not ship
hazardous materials
at all, so we don’t
need the training.”

12. DOT HazMat Training
• ValuJet tried to avoid dealing with HazMat regs by
issuing a policy that they wouldn't transport HazMat.
– Thus ValuJet personnel weren't trained to watch for
HazMat.
• A vendor presented the O2 generators as non-haz.
– If ValuJet staff had been properly trained, they would
have connected "oxygen generator" with the definition of
"Oxidizer" Hazard Class, and refused the shipment.
• If they had known to refuse the shipment it would
have saved 110 people's lives.
