The document summarizes key points from a symposium on properly closing steel drums in accordance with regulations for shipping hazardous materials: 1) Shippers are responsible for following closure instructions to ensure drums are properly sealed to prevent leaks during transport. 2) Closure instructions have become more standardized but must match the manufacturer's specifications and be kept up to date. 3) Shippers should check that drums are properly torqued and dimensions meet requirements before shipping, and should contact manufacturers if drums cannot be safely closed or sealed.

Closure Instruction Review: Steel Drums Labelmaster Symposium - Chicago September 23-25, 2009 Howard Z. Skolnik Skolnik Industries Inc. - Chicago
CFR49, 178.2(c) all shippers of hazardous materials are responsible
Closure Instruction & Common Sense has now become a scientific process
Hazardous Cargo Bulletin February 2009 Paul Rankin of RIPA asks: do these instructions really help improve safety or are they more likely a source of confusion for shippers?
not generic manufacturer specific must be current

May I have 2 volunteers? I have closed a steel drum I have never closed a steel drum
the process that a filler, or re-shipper, must follow torque, dimensional measurements and visual safeguards re-torque before shipment
If not properly closed? should be quarantined and the manufacturer contacted for return or replacement
No Substitutions!!! If replacement parts are needed get original parts from manufacturer
Return Logistics? must convey to their customers the need to present packagings for shipment that are in compliance
Retain Testing Certificates ? Though a manufacturer is responsible, its a good idea for the shipper. Outdated and incorrect document retention exposes your company to a probable violation and fine.
Now is the time! Review your packaging purchases, Closure Instructions, training and documentation. If a DOT inspector does come to your door, be ready to comply with their requests and demonstrate that you are a compliant shipper.
