| + | If so, it is **essential** to consult with your safety office and shipping department and to let them know what you | ||
| + | are shipping. | ||
| + | They can advise you about the necessary procedures for proper compliance with laws and regulations. | ||
| + | It may be necessary for someone from your organization to be formally trained and certified in shipping hazardous materials. | ||
| + | Failure to comply may result in legal action. | ||
| + | It is also **essential** to contact the CSO manager well in advance of any such shipment. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Dry Ice == | ||
| + | |||
| + | FedEx and UPS will accept shipments with dry ice. On your box, note the amount of dry ice along with the description of the contents. | ||
| + | Mark the 'dry ice' box on a regular FedEx airbill. FedEx will put a dry ice label on the box. | ||
