Dangerous Goods General Awareness and Recognition TrainingGeneral Awareness Training is a critical program for anyone whose workplace engages in the handling, shipping, and/or transportation of hazardous materials, to provide them with an understanding of what hazardous materials are and how to recognize them in the workplace. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) understands this, which is why 49 CFR §172.704 requires General Awareness as a required training element for all hazmat employees. This online general awareness and recognition course is intended for employees of companies which handle, ship, or transport hazardous materials, in order to provide them with an awareness of hazardous materials, and includes Security Awareness Training. This Dangerous Goods General Awareness and Recognition Training is based on the requirements outlined in the most current version of the IATA DGR and the ICAO Technical Instructions, and complies with Title 49 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR) Part 172, Subpart H and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.
