Does your company comply with the requirements of HM-232?
Yes. HM-232 is a requirement relating to Homeland Security. It requires that all carriers have a security plan in place and train all of their employees on hazardous materials security. This is to ensure that hazardous materials are transported in a safe manner and do not become tools for extremist groups to use in terrorist plots.
