The Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration (FMCSA) placed additional emphasis on the safety of shippers (offerors) of hazardous materials for transportation by highway during the month of March 2001. This special emphasis project was designated 'HM SHIPPER CHECK 2001.' The goal of this project was to reduce the risk of HM incidents (spills) by targeting HM shippers. A secondary goal of the project focused on additional field testing of the HM Packaging Inspection Program (HMPIP) software for HM shipper data collection. The data collected will help in us in achieving the following goals: (1) it allows us to improve the shipper prioritization list; (2) the data enables FMCSA to better analyze and determine other ways of identifying high risk shippers; and (3) the data will permit us to target high risk shippers in order to conduct Shipper Compliance Reviews. Shipper Check 2001 consisted of packaging inspections conducted at dockside, less-than truckload facilities, intermodal facilities and roadside. Shipper Check 2001 provided an opportunity for FMCSA personnel to work with our 'ONE DOT' and State partners. A number of Division Offices elected to conduct shipper compliance reviews in addition to the packaging inspections.
