Hazardous Materials Air Shipper Certification (HMT S35)
IATA DGR Mandatory Training

Most air carriers will only accept hazardous material shipments that comply with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) rules. Both U.S. DOT and IATA require training documentation for all hazmat employees.

Building on your existing 49 CFR training*, you'll learn how to navigate the IATA DGR, your additional air shipping responsibilities, and how 49 CFR and IATA rules work together.

What You'll Learn:
