About the seminar:


Transportation of biological substances and infectious materials has become increasingly challenging. With heightened enforcement and penalties by PHMSA, new requirements for transport of biological substances, and changes in Category B and IATA regulations, shippers’ need to know and do more to be in compliance.

This seminar will help you understand your risks and liabilities involved in the worldwide transport of time and temperature sensitive life sciences shipments. We will show you how to avoid costly incidents by understanding current regulations and requirements for shipping infectious/biological substances, HAZMAT goods and dry ice by air.

Additionally, we will discuss the USDA Regulations for importing samples & specimens and how to reduce risks of FDA hold when importing into the U.S. You will learn how to transport exempt human specimens and UN3373. And, we will review how to properly pack, prepare and transport shipments packaged in dry ice (UN1845).

The need for proper training has never been greater. Join us for an information packed and insightful seminar.

"As the Senior Analyst for our Global Transportation Department, staying abreast of the current regulations and proper classification and handling of Biological Substances and Infectious Materials is critical. The QuickSTAT seminars focus on the specific information I need to know in an informal and interactive setting ...I highly recommend them to anyone in the field."
