Key Points

This bill requires the Department of Transportation to create new rules for refrigerated shipping containers. Every refrigerated container would need a special warning sign on the outside to alert people of potential dangers.
The warning signs are meant to tell firefighters and other emergency workers that the container could be under high pressure. This helps keep them safe if they have to respond to an accident or a fire involving these containers.
These signs must be on the containers even if they are empty or carrying normal goods. This is because the cooling equipment itself can be dangerous during an emergency regardless of what is inside.
The government will also study if the chemicals used for cooling should be put into their own special category of dangerous materials. This study will look at how a new category would change current safety rules for the shipping industry.
