(1,975 posts)I am, and have been a hazmat certifier in the military. I've been certified for around 8 years now. Basically I can classify, label, and determine any type of hazmat for transportation and storage.
Now, I don't know how it works on the civilian side but in the military, hazmat is no joke. Twice a year we are inspected for discrepancies. If for instance there is a major spill and it was due to negligence. They would levy a fine, that fine is not paid by the government, it is paid for by the commanding officer, out of his own pocket. The worse I saw was a $10,000 fine against the CO.
Now with this being said, their were some obvious violations at this company. The Buck stops at the CEO, unless he is a good buddy of somebody waaaay up there, or has pictures of some dead hookers in a senators car....expect him to go to jail.
There is no need for a manhunt for this guy. I'm sure the guys in suits have already visited him and was told not to leave town. If they think he is a flight risk, then yeah, they will arrest him. Mark this post, he will be going to jail.
