📦 What was the first law concerned with the safe transportation of hazardous materials in the US?
For professionals who work with hazmat shipping, environmental, or OSHA regulations, this video transports you to the earliest days of Federal hazmat law in the United States. 100 years before the DOT's Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) and the 49 CFR rules came around, hazmat was already “regulated” by Federal US law and had been for a long time.

This video uncovers what may be the first-ever Federal hazmat law in the US, passed in 1866, long before the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (HMTA) and the modern HMR came around.

💥 How a deadly explosion in the San Francisco Bay Area persuaded lawmakers to act
💥 The 1866 hazmat law regulating nitroglycerin and other explosives
💥 The 1871 hazmat law governing carriage of dangerous cargo on vessels
💥 Very early standards for hazmat packaging, labels, and segregation of hazards
💥 How these 1800s laws connect to modern hazmat regulations in 49 CFR

For any one who ships or handles hazardous materials—like flammable liquids, lithium batteries, compressed gases, or corrosives—this video provides a clear perspective on the historical context for the hazmat training, transportation, and compliance programs we know today.
