During a livestream presentation called “DOT Hazmat Training Basics for Shippers” on April 10, Joel Gregier, CDGP laid out essential information for shippers of hazardous materials who have questions about the training requirements for “hazmat employees” in the US DOT/PHMSA Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR 172.704).
Hazmat Training Basics
The ~30-minute livestream provides key details about how to comply with US DOT/PHMSA hazmat training regulations, including:
What job roles require DOT hazmat training?
Why training is essential to hazmat safety
When and how often is hazmat training required?
Five training areas for hazmat employees
Common mistakes made by untrained employees
(International) training rules for air and vessel shippers
Consequences of noncompliance with DOT regulations
DOT hazmat training certification and recordkeeping
The exercises in the DOT hazardous materials management course are especially helpful in evaluating your understanding of course information.

Best instructor ever! I was going to take my DOT training w/a different provider, but based on this presentation, I will also be doing my DOT training w/Lion!

I was able to present my scenario to the instructor and worked thru the regulations together. In the past, I attended another training firm's classes. Now, I have no intention of leaving Lion!

Lion courses are the standard to which all other workshops should strive for!

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