What are other benefits of solvent welded systems?
Under certain conditions, and because of their flammability, larger containers of solvent cements, cleaners and primers “offered for shipment” require special placarding of vehicles. To properly follow U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) shipping regulations, training of employees is required. Containers with volumes under one liter are considered ORM-D (consumer commodity) by DOT and are generally exempt. DOT does not certify hazmat employees, or endorse any private sector training program or certification. Rather, the hazmat employer must choose what training is appropriate for its employees under the Hazardous Material Regulations, and certify that employees are appropriately trained. Training must be done initially with a new employee and at least every three years. Any employee whose work directly affects hazardous materials transportation safety is required to have this training.
