As you are no doubt aware, hazmat material continues to be a difficult problem with very few solutions.  To give you a little background, here are two current news items that  directly effect the aviation industry.

FAA Fines Company $103,000  - MARCH 2, 2000

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - The Federal Aviation Administration fined an aircraft maintenance company $103,000 on Wednesday for shipping an oxygen canister on a passenger flight without declaring it or marking it as hazardous material.  Triad International Maintenance Co. shipped the canister on a Delta Air Lines flight from Greensboro to San Antonio, Texas, via Atlanta, in March 1999, the FAA said in a statement.  Dave Latimer, vice president of quality for Triad International, said the company has appealed the fine and that the matter is pending before an administrative judge.  ``We take very seriously any FAA alleged violation but are contesting the proposed fine and believe it to be highly disproportionate,'' he said.

 AAR Airframe and Accessories Inc fined 1 million by FAA - March 1, 2000

WASHINGTON, March 1 (Reuters) - Federal regulators on Wednesday proposed a $1 million fine against an aviation services firm they said improperly shipped oxygen generators like those blamed in the 1996 ValuJet crash. The FAA alleged that AAR Airframe and Accessories Inc., a subsidiary of AAR Corp. (NYSE:AIR - news), improperly shipped some 800 chemical oxygen generators on two Air France flights from Paris to Chicago in early 1997.

WHAT WE CAN DO TOGETHER

Currently the HAZMAT training materials give no clear cut answers in regards to specific units that should be considered HAZMAT.  Everything is a generalization (certain fuel, explosives, certain chemicals, etc).  In fact, some items like Radar Indicators are HAZMAT.  We propose a database that can be viewed and added to that can assist everyone that must ship aircraft parts by air.  This database can be used as a reference only, but with all of us working together perhaps the scenarios depicted above will not repeat themselves at your Company.
