| DOT Hazardous Materials General Awareness | This course provides general awareness training of the basic requirements of the DOT, including the definition of hazardous materials. Employees who are responsible for the transport of hazardous materials will become familiar with regulations related to packaging, marking, labeling and shipping papers. This course can be used for either new employees or as recurrent training. |
| | DOT Training for Drivers of HAZMAT Shipments
| This course is designed to meet DOT requirements to train each hazmat employee who "drives a motor vehicle containing hazardous material." Because more hazardous materials are transported on highways than all other modes of transportation combined, DOT requires that hazmat drivers have highway-specific training, in addition to the basic hazmat training. This course provides basic hazmat training for drivers plus the highway-specific training in pre-trip safety inspections, general vehicle operation information, vehicle attendance requirements, and safe loading and unloading. This course can be used for either new employees or as refresher training. |
| | DOT Training for Offerers of HAZMAT Shipments | This course is designed to meet DOT requirements to train all employees who directly affect the safe transportation of hazardous materials. Such employees include those who load, unload, or handle hazardous materials; prepare hazardous materials for transportation; or are responsible for the safety of transporting hazardous materials. This course provides basic hazardous materials training for these employees plus training in DOT requirements for bulk and non-bulk packaging, labeling, loading, and unloading. This course can be used for either new employees or as recurrent training. |
