Hazardous Materials & Wastes Transportation Certification (HMT S32)
49 CFR Hazmat Training for Waste Shippers

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; it 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.

Using Lion's Ten Steps™ for hazardous materials transportation, you will learn a systematic approach for applying the rules to your materials.
