The Security Plan Has No Small-Business Exception

The Security Plan Has No Small-Business Exception

The Situation

The DOT Hazmat Security Plan has no small-business exception. Your size alone doesn't settle whether it applies to you. That gap is easy to miss until someone asks for the plan.

I'm a 25-year propane operator. The security plan we write comes from an operator, not a compliance shop.

Our audio covers six written plans. It runs under 10 minutes. For each plan, it names who needs it, the rule by section, and what going without it costs. The security plan starts at 2:19.

Use the audio to start a review. Listen for the plan that matches your operation. Note the rule it names. Then pull your own plan, if you have one, and see what you have on file.

Call 610-228-0887 and ask for the manuals intake form. Finding the gap early beats finding it when an inspector or insurer asks.
