The Transportation Safety Act of 1974 recognized the dangers to life and property that can result from transportation of a variety of hazardous materials. In the event of an accident, a spill of materials could create significant harm for passengers, other vehicles nearby, and people living near the accident. The act applies to transportation, shipping, packaging, and labeling of materials defined as hazardous, and it provides for penalties for violations. Estimates suggest that there are more than 250,000 hazardous material shipments every day in the United States. Estimates also suggest that approximately 400 shipments per year are involved in injury accidents.
