Limiting the Amount of Fuel Transported To Limit Emergency Response
Information, Training, and Licensing Requirements
112
Reasons To Carry No More Than 440 Pounds of Hazmat in a Single

114
Summary
• The HMR and exemptions relate directly to the hazmat employee’s job tasks.
• Hazmat must be transported properly in allowable containers.
• Limiting the amount of hazmat being transported reduces regulatory requirements.
