Check the Box Call to Action

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is committed to ensuring the safe transportation of hazardous materials, but we recognize that we can't do it alone.

Reducing incidents and serious injuries related to hazardous materials in transportation will take action from organizations across the public and private sectors.

We need you - shippers, carriers, packaging manufacturers, freight forwarders, emergency responders, trade associations, labor unions, government agencies, and more - to do your part in promoting and implementing best practices for the safe transportation of hazardous materials.

Join Us 

Join the Check the Box Call to Action  and share the specific actions your organization is taking to reduce incidents and enhance the safety of hazardous materials transportation.

We'll highlight the steps you're taking - or planning to take - to inspire others to commit to action and help us make meaningful progress toward reducing hazardous materials incidents.
