Every single day hundreds of explosive cargos are shipped from one part of the country to another under strict vigilance. While transporting explosive products, it is the prime duty of the shipping company to protect shipments from being stolen. The shipping companies take certain steps, laid down by PHMSA for protection of explosive products. PHMSA or The Pipeline & Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is an agency in United States responsible for formulating and implementing regulations for the transportation industry. The prime objective of the agency is safe and secure shipping of cargos carrying explosive and pharmaceutical products so that no harm is caused to either people or environment. For the protection of people and environment from risks caused due to transportation of hazardous materials, PHMSA has introduced various programs. Each program has unique rules and regulations and companies in the transportation industry must follow the same. Two of the most popular programs run by PHMSA are: • Hazardous Materials Safety – This is a national safety program, introduced to minimize risks caused by explosive cargo shipments. As a part of this program, the concerned agency evaluates possible risks and think of measures that help in minimizing the former. Awareness programs are conducted to educate carriers and shippers on how they can contribute in making the country safer. PHMSA introduces carriers and shippers to various types of security containers and solutions available in the market. • Pipeline Safety – This program deals with the safe and secure operations of pipeline industry. Just like the above mentioned program, PHMSA has laid down rules and regulations for pipeline industry as well. To sum it all, it can be said that this agency works for protecting the citizens of the company. They try to eliminate the loopholes in the transportation and pipeline system in order to make it more secure and stronger. Where shippers and carriers are actively supporting PHMSA’s endeavors, agencies developing security solutions are also contributing at their end. TrakLok Corporation, a world-class security solution provider, is consistently working to design and develop security products that meet the standards laid down by PHMSA. Not only this, the organization is putting in all possible efforts to provide better security features with every upcoming product.
