Hazardous Materials Training
State-of-the-art online hazmat training and certification for motor carriers, shippers, and brokers who are required by law to train their hazmat employees every three years.
What's Included
Course Overview
Federal regulations require those involved in the highway transportation of hazardous materials — including those who prepare shipping papers, classify hazmat, fill packages, mark and label packages, load vehicles, placard vehicles, and transport hazmat — to receive hazmat training at least every three years.
This course is designed to satisfy the training requirements in 49 C.F.R. 172.704, covering general awareness/familiarization, function-specific training, safety training, and security awareness training. Upon successful completion, each employee receives a compliant training certificate for employers to include in their employee file.
Whether you're a motor carrier, shipper, or broker, ensuring your hazmat employees are properly trained isn't just a regulatory requirement — it's essential for the safe handling and transportation of dangerous goods. Our course makes this critical training accessible, engaging, and easy to complete.
