To what extent must a shipper determine that a carrier’s security plan is adequate?
You are not required to determine that your carrier’s security plan conforms in all respects to the requirements in Subpart I of Part 172 of the HMR. However, you should work with your carrier to address en route security issues for the hazardous materials the carrier will be transporting on your behalf. In some cases, you and your carrier may decide to develop a joint plan; in others, you and your carrier may have separate plans. A shipper’s security plan should indicate the measures it has taken to address en route security, such as coordination with the carrier to determine that its security plan covers en route security risks associated with the shipment.
