Hazmat General Awareness (HMT 101)
For Operations Personnel

The U.S. DOT mandates the completion of five elements of training for hazmat employees: 1) General awareness, 2) Function-specific, 3) Safety, 4) Security Awareness, and 5) In-depth security training. This course meets the first required training element in the previously listed series, "General Awareness" training, and has been created especially for operations-level hazmat employees.

What You'll Learn:

Why hazardous materials are regulated
What activities are subject to DOT rules
How to recognize hazardous materials
The properties that cause a material to be “hazardous”
The overall system of hazardous materials regulation
How they fit into the big picture

Who Should Attend:

This training is designed for employees who work directly with or for a hazmat manager who has received full training and certification. It provides the essential background in how the Federal hazmat rules work.

For those with specific hands-on responsibilities for hazmat shipping or transport, this workshop must be combined with job specific instruction (online, on the job, or in a classroom) to comply with DOT rules.
