On March 11, 2011 at 76 FR 13313, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration proposed to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations to mandate that facilities where cargo tanks are loaded or unloaded must perform risk assessments, develop safe operating procedures, and provide annual safety training for employees.
The safe operating procedures required by this rule include:
Pre-transfer checklists
Temperature and flow rate monitoring
Emergency response plans
Design, testing, and maintenance standards for transfer equipment
Facility oversight of carrier personnel
DOT-PHMSA will be accepting comments on this rule proposal until May 10, 2011.
I love that the instructor emphasized the thought process behind the regs.

Our instructor was very dynamic and kept everyone's interest. Hazmat shipping can be a dry, complicated topic but I was engaged the entire time.

My experience with Lion training, both online and in the classroom, is that they are far better organized and provide a better sequential explanation of the material.

Given the choice, I would do all coursework this way. In-person courses go very fast without the opportunity to pause or repeat anything.
