Hazmat Red Book Builder

The Hazmat Red Book Builder is a Chrome extension that generates a complete, current Hazardous Materials Red Book PDF — pulled directly from live eCFR.gov data — with a single click. Carriers transporting hazardous materials, hazmat safety officers, compliance teams, and training departments can now produce an up-to-date, company-branded reference book in seconds rather than hours.

The Hazardous Materials Red Book has long been an essential compliance reference for carriers operating under 49 CFR HazMat regulations. Maintaining a current copy traditionally required downloading individual regulation files from multiple subchapters, creating separator pages, and assembling them manually. This extension eliminates that workflow entirely.

With 19 CFR parts spanning both the HazMat-specific regulations (Parts 107 and 171-180, covering program procedures, the Hazardous Materials Table, shipping requirements, packaging specifications, and carriage by all modes) and the FMCSR general carrier regulations (Parts 390-399), this extension produces the most complete hazmat carrier reference available — always current as of the date of generation.

The generated PDF includes a professionally formatted cover page with your company name, a clickable table of contents, a separator page for each of the 19 parts, full regulation text with running headers and page footers, and intelligent table handling — wide regulatory tables such as the Part 172 Hazardous Materials Table are flagged with a reference note and column headers rather than rendered as unreadable cell dumps.

What's Included • Cover page with company name, current date, hazmat diamond decoration, and full parts list • Clickable table of contents — click any part number to jump directly to that section • Separator page for each of the 19 CFR parts • Full regulation text for all 19 parts, sourced live from eCFR.gov • Intelligent table handling — the 9-column Part 172 HazMat Table and similar wide tables display column headers and a reference note instead of unreadable raw cell data • Running headers and page footers throughout • Automatic Unicode character handling for legal typographic symbols
