HAZMAT Transportation Part 3: Packaging (US)
If given the task of packaging or inspecting and accepting hazardous materials for transportation, could you do so in compliance with the Hazardous Materials Regulations' (HMR's) packaging requirements? Your employer wants to make sure you can, since the Department of Transportation (DOT) and its designated agencies regulate the packaging and transportation of hazardous materials. These agencies also have the authority to inspect hazardous materials packages and fine or penalize you as well as your employer for any HMR violations. Take this course to learn about general packaging requirements. This course is ideal for people who offer hazardous materials to be shipped and for air, highway, rail or water carriers. You may take this course alone, but remember to take the entire suite, in order, every 3 years to fulfill the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation, or DOT.
