I’m going through some of my IATA videos we’ve produced in the studio and I’m thinking about repurposing some of them. Now that we have an active linked-in community of DG people I’d like to get your feedback on things, and we can all learn. So I’m thinking of starting a website called HazMatRejects.com I’m not entirely sure how my sense of humor will translate on that, so for now let’s just say I want to have a free place where people can share experiences of shipments that got rejected.

Some for valid reasons and some maybe less than valid. I think Geoff Leach talked about this at the last Labelmaster DGIS. So speaking of labels and marks, in this training video of mine I said that the words “this end up” needed to be folded over the top of the package.

Do you agree? Would it get rejected if it wasn’t?

I took a minute out of this marking module and am showing the clip here. I realize now that I was probably a bit dramatic in saying that the FAA would have a problem with this (I have no idea), but more than that — it might get rejected. At the same time I’ve seen a gazillion of them marked this way, theoretically improperly. What do you think? Would this be cause for a rejection?
