Is it a State or government run (public) school? If it is, then there may be no enforceable regulations.

 

See

http://www.olemiss.edu/safety/pdf/state_univ.pdf

 

and

http://www.olemiss.edu/safety/exemptions.html

 

Under federal regulations, a government employee, moving government owned hazardous materials, from one government facility to another government facility, in government vehicles - is not in commerce and generally not covered by DOT regulations. Your state may have other rules, and your mileage may vary...

 

 

Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: [DCHAS-L] Two Questions

I have a related question to the chemical transport question. A new science building at a rural college in California is now being finished, so they will have to pack and transport all of the chemicals from the old building to the new building. These would be chemicals that are typical for general first-year inorganic chemistry. Are the faculty and lab tech allowed to do the packing and moving of chemicals themselves or are they required to hire outside specialists? Are there any rules or prudent guidelines to follow in moving and supervising the move?

Thank you,
