Special Agent Lisa Evans from the FAA conducted an unannounced inspection at the Environmental Health and Safety Office on January 4, 2017. The FAA inspection encompassed monitoring our filing system, inspecting our packaging materials, checking EHS staff records for updated multi-modal shipping training (DOT and IATA), and inquiring about the level of hazard associated with our outbound dangerous goods shipments.

EHS passed the inspection and received a recommendation to separate our shipping files based on the presence of a shipping declaration located within the file.
