The Department of Transportation (DOT), through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), enforces regulations that cover the safe transport of hazardous materials in commerce through every step of the shipping process, which includes highway/ground transportation of such materials. These requirements apply to offerors as defined in 49 CFR, Section 171.8 Definitions and Abbreviations and Section 171.1 Applicability of Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR).
Due to the constant changes of the relevant regulations, it is required that hazmat employees undergo recurrent training within three years of their initial training. For this reason, our Shipping by Ground 49 CFR training course is applicable for Initial or Recurrent Training, for those who are new to the ground transport of hazardous materials or those who need to recertify their training. If your job involves any function that will affect the process of transporting hazardous materials by ground, you cannot refrain from receiving the appropriate 49 CFR training.
If you are involved in the shipping, handling, and/or transport of lithium batteries, it is highly recommended that you also purchase our Supplemental Lithium Batteries Training, which is available in this store. It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure their employees are trained commensurate with their responsibilities, which may necessitate additional training.
Note: This 49 CFR training course is based on the most current edition of 49 CFR, and it is recommended that you have this regulation on hand when taking this online DOT hazmat training course.
