FAA Finds 'em, Fines 'em: Honeywell

$52,500 Penalty for Not Properly Draining Fuel Pump

The FAA, Southern Region, has proposed to assess a $52,500 civil penalty against Honeywell, Inc. of Phoenix, AZ, for allegedly violating Department of Transportation hazardous materials regulations.

The FAA alleges that on Sept. 10, 2000, Honeywell improperly offered a fiberboard box containing a fuel pump holding residual fuel, a flammable liquid, to United Parcel Service (UPS) for transportation by air. Ground handling employees at the UPS sort facility in Louisville discovered the shipment leaking and emitting a fuel odor.

Honeywell offered the hazardous material for transportation when it was not packaged, marked, classed, described, documented, or in condition for shipment as required by regulations. Honeywell also failed to ensure employees were trained to properly package and handle hazardous materials, and did not make available at all times the required emergency response information.
