Causes of Violations

In our penalty mitigation work we get to see a lot of hazmat fines and penalties and have identified the most likely causes of most hazmat enforcement actions.

Product Returns -- a company doesn't normally ship hazmat but has to return a product
The trained employee called in sick
There were no trained employees
The shipment is not regulated by ground, but is by air -- and it absolutely, positively had to get there.
The information from the manufacturer was just plain wrong.
The MSDS was in error
An employee was trained for a mode of transport other than the one used
The regulations had changed and the company didn't know it.
