What must carriers provide each driver transporting class A or B explosives?

Carriers are required to provide each driver transporting Class A or B explosives with a copy of FMCSR Part 397. This regulation outlines the specific safety requirements and regulatory compliance that must be adhered to when handling and transporting hazardous materials, particularly explosives. FMCSR Part 397 addresses the transportation of hazardous materials, including safety precautions, the responsibilities of drivers, and emergency response procedures. By ensuring that each driver has access to this information, carriers are promoting safety and ensuring that drivers are well-informed about the specific practices necessary to handle these dangerous materials safely.

In addition to ensuring compliance with safety regulations, giving drivers access to FMCSR Part 397 helps them understand their responsibilities and the potential hazards associated with Class A and B explosives. This practice is essential for maintaining safety standards and minimizing risks during transportation.
