Practical, ready-to-use tools, training content, regulatory updates, and real-world compliance guidance for companies that ship, carry, store, transfer, or handle hazardous materials.
Hazmat compliance should not feel like a pile of disconnected rules, outdated binders, and last-minute scrambling. STARS HazMat Compliance Kits give your team monthly resources you can actually use — from SOPs and checklists to mini-training modules, violation spotlights, and Wendy’s expert tips.
Created by STARS HazMat Consulting — practical hazmat compliance support from a team with nearly 30 years of regulatory, transportation, rail, warehouse, training, and litigation experience.
Monthly Compliance Kit
Most companies do not struggle with hazmat compliance because they do not care. They struggle because the rules are complex, responsibilities are spread across multiple departments, and the people doing the work often need practical tools — not just another regulation citation.
A missed marking, an outdated SOP, an incomplete training record, a poor segregation decision, or an undeclared shipment can create real consequences: rejected shipments, enforcement exposure, operational delays, increased insurance concerns, emergency response issues, and preventable safety risks.
STARS HazMat Compliance Kits are built to close the gap between what the regulations require and what your team actually needs to do in daily operations.
Each monthly kit is designed like a practical compliance support package — part newsletter, part training aid, part toolbox, and part expert guidance.
Plain-English updates and reminders focused on the rules and requirements most likely to affect real operations.
A real-world enforcement or compliance failure example, with practical lessons your team can apply before the same issue shows up in your operation.
A usable template, checklist, procedure, inspection aid, decision guide, or tracking tool that can be adapted to your facility, fleet, warehouse, terminal, or shipping process.
Short, practical training content for toolbox talks, refresher discussions, supervisor coaching, or monthly team meetings.
Field-tested guidance from Wendy Buckley, the “HazMat Queen,” focused on making compliance work in the real world — safely, logically, and without unnecessary friction.
A simple documentation tool to help record employee participation when you use the monthly training content with your team.
Hazmat compliance looks different depending on your role in the supply chain. STARS Compliance Kits are organized by operational audience, so you receive guidance that fits the way your team actually handles hazardous materials.
For distributors managing hazardous materials across receiving, storage, order fulfillment, packaging, documentation, carrier coordination, and customer shipments.
Best for: chemical distributors, manufacturers with distribution operations, branch locations, shipping departments, EHS teams, and logistics managers.
For carriers and transportation teams moving hazardous materials by highway, rail, or intermodal operations.
Best for: motor carriers, rail-related operations, fleet teams, safety departments, dispatchers, driver managers, transloading operations, and logistics teams.
For facilities that store, stage, transfer, cross-dock, load, unload, or otherwise handle hazardous materials before, during, or after transportation.
Best for: warehouses, terminals, 3PLs, transloaders, fulfillment facilities, and facilities expanding into hazmat operations.
For companies shipping limited quantities, consumer commodities, batteries, aerosols, cleaning products, paints, adhesives, and other regulated products through parcel or small-package networks.
Best for: retailers, e-commerce companies, fulfillment teams, small-package shippers, customer service teams, and operations that need clearer hazmat shipping controls.
Compliance programs are not meant to sit on a shelf. They need regular attention, practical reinforcement, and tools that reflect how work is actually performed.
A monthly subscription gives your team a steady rhythm for reviewing key issues, improving procedures, refreshing training, and strengthening documentation — without having to build everything from scratch.
STARS HazMat Consulting is not simply repackaging regulations into a newsletter. These kits are built from decades of hands-on experience with hazardous materials transportation, rail operations, trucking, warehousing, transloading, classification, training, enforcement risk, emergency response concerns, insurance support, and litigation.
That practical background matters. The regulations tell you what is required. The harder question is how to build systems your people can actually follow.
STARS Compliance Kits are designed to bridge that gap.
