Hazardous Materials Transportation Certification (HMT S30)
49 CFR Hazmat Training

Hazardous materials training is required for all “hazmat employees” under the U.S. DOT hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR Part 172, Subpart H).  Hazmat training is required within 90-days for new employees; training must be repeated every three years and periodically as rules change. (See Hazmat Training FAQs). Civil penalties are now up to $55,000 per day, per violation.

This online hazmat certification course provides comprehensive DOT training for those responsible for shipping hazardous materials. Using Lion's Ten Steps™ for hazardous materials transportation as your foundation, you will learn a systematic approach for applying the hazmat rules to your materials. You will also get up to speed on all the new and pending hazmat rules. 

Registration includes Lion's expert online training curriculum, online compliance references, certification, regulatory updates, plus 365 days of complete follow-up support.
