This course provides hazardous materials/dangerous goods training required to ship lithium batteries by ground, air, and vessel.
The training guides shippers through a step-by-step procedure to classify and offer fully regulated and/or excepted lithium batteries packaged separately, in-equipment, or with equipment. It provides training required by 49 CFR, the IATA DGR, and the IMDG Code for hazmat employees involved in shipping lithium batteries.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Confidently navigate and apply US and international regulations to safely ship fully regulated or excepted lithium batteries by ground, air, or vessel.
- Identify key additional IATA DGR requirements for air shipments (e.g., Section I vs. Section II lithium batteries and cells by air).
- Provide general awareness, security awareness, and function-specific training for employees who perform typical shipping functions for lithium batteries.
The course is designed to provide training required for hazmat employees involved in shipping lithium batteries by ground, air, or vessel. US DOT, IATA/ICAO, and the IMDG Code all require hazmat training for employees who prepare lithium batteries for transport by ground, air, or vessel (49 CFR 172.704, IATA DGR 1.5, IMDG Code 1.3.1). .
Registration includes:
- Engaging, interactive shipping lithium batteries training
