Charlotte DOT & IATA Hazmat Training: August 10—12
Lion Technology’s DOT and IATA hazmat training workshops return to Charlotte, NC on August 10—12, 2021.
Sonesta Charlotte Executive Park
5700 Westpark Dr.
Charlotte, NC 28217
Join us to develop a step-by-step process to safely prepare and offer hazmat shipments, by ground and air, in full compliance with the latest 49 CFR Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) and the 2021 IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR).
Lion instructors are thrilled to get back in the classroom and connect with new and returning hazardous materials professionals. When in-person DOT hazmat training returns to Charlotte, Lion will adhere to all Federal, State, and local protocols to protect student health and safety.
For new hazmat employees, DOT requires training within 90 days of hire or assignment. Recurrent hazmat training is required at least once every three years (49 CFR 172.704).
At the two-day DOT Hazmat Ground Shipper Certification Workshop in Charlotte, we will cover mandated training elements for all hazmat employees: General awareness, security awareness, and function-specific hazmat training. If you ship hazmat by air, stay for the Hazmat Air Shipper Certification Workshop on day 3 to learn what you need to know to offer hazmat to major air carriers—including UPS, FedEx and others—under the IATA DGR.
When you attend Lion’s Charlotte hazmat classes, you also get 365 days of Lion Membership. Members can use the Lion Finder Service™ to submit EH&S questions and get help finding answers from Lion instructors and subject matter experts.
Plus, access 49 CFR hazardous materials regulations updated throughout the year. Login to the recently redesigned Lion.com Member Area to check out exclusive FAQs; white papers, reports, guides, and videos to help you stay ahead of regulatory changes year around. When regulations change that impact you, you will receive a Member Bulletin alert, so you never miss a crucial update.
Lion instructors have credentials as educators and real-life experience in diverse industries and a wide variety of businesses—from “Mom and Pop” entities to Fortune 100 companies. Our talented instructors will educate, empower, and entertain you while you learn – and do everything they can to give you a positive workshop experience.
Home to the NBA’s Hornets, Charlotte is a fabulous city to visit to attend hazmat training. When British General Cornwallis marched on Charlotte during the American Revolution, his army was met by strong opposition from the locals and retreated in short order. It led Cornwallis to call Charlotte a “hornet’s nest of rebellion.”
You know what really stings? Financial penalties for noncompliance with domestic or international hazmat regulations.
Failure to provide hazmat training for employees can subject your site to a minimum civil penalty of $508 per employee, per day. DOT recently increased civil penalties for typical hazmat shipping violations to a maximum of $84,425 per day, per violation. Violations that result in severe injury, death, or substantial property damage are even more expensive.
