Hazardous Materials Transportation Certification - Recurrent
49 CFR Hazmat Training (HMT S34)

Recurrent training in the U.S. DOT hazardous materials regulations (HMR) is mandatory for all hazmat employees under 49 CFR Part 172, Subpart H. Training and testing must recur (at least) every three years by the anniversary date of the previous training. See Hazmat Training FAQs.
