FAA Proposes $63,000 Civil Penalty Against Gladwin
Paint Company for Alleged HazMat Violations
�
WASHINGTON,
D.C. �� The U.S Department of
Transportation�s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a $63,000 civil
penalty against Gladwin Paint Company of Arlington, Texas, for allegedly
violating the Hazardous Materials Regulations.
The FAA alleges that on May
11, 2016, Gladwin offered a box containing flammable paint to FedEx for
shipment by air from Arlington to Abilene, Texas. �
�
The FAA alleges the shipment
was not accompanied by shipping papers describing the material, and was not
properly marked, labeled, packaged or in the proper condition for shipment to
prevent the release of hazardous materials. The FAA further alleges Gladwin failed
to ensure its employees had received required hazardous materials training, and
failed to include emergency response information with the shipment.
�
Gladwin has 30 days from
receipt of the FAA�s enforcement letter to respond to the agency.
