- About the Course
DOT Training – It’s the Law!
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), human error is the probable cause of most transportation incidents involving the release of hazardous materials. Anyone involved in documenting, labeling, packaging and transporting hazardous materials must be trained to ensure the safety of the shipper, carrier, the general public and the environment. US DOT regulations make periodic training mandatory.
The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, Subpart H, requires training for persons involved in the handling of hazardous materials that are transported in commerce. These training requirements mandate initial training for new hazardous materials employees within 90 days of employment. Recurrent training is required at least once every three years.
