  1. DOT HazMat Training

  2. Handling and transporting hazardous materials (HazMat) is quite common globally. What is not so common, and equally applied, is the precautions and regulations to be followed by people handling hazardous materials across their lifecycle and value chain. In the United States, the safety and health of employees are a top priority and governed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Hence, employers and employees must undergo different forms and types of safety training when their occupations endanger their health and livelihood.

  3. What is DOT HazMat Training? The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has regulated how hazardous materials can be transported across the United States, whether by highway, rail, waterways, or air. Furthermore, the DOT regulations for hazardous materials transportation also guide and direct the proper handling, packaging, marking, and placarding of hazardous materials packages and vehicles; to ensure the safety of both the people directly involved in the process, as well as the public.

  4. Who Needs DOT HazMat Training? All employers and employees involved in the handling, packaging, marking, labeling, storing, loading, unloading, and placarding of hazardous materials for transport, must undergo the mandatory training as set out by the DOT guidelines. This applies across all transportation networks when utilizing vehicles, trains, airplanes, or vessels. Furthermore, people who receive and forward packages of dangerous goods and hazardous chemicals; and those who manufacture packaging for the transportation of HazMat are also required to undergo the mandated DOT HazMat training.

  5. When is DOT HazMat Training Required? The DOT has also recommended when HazMat training is necessary for employees engaged in the transportation of hazardous materials. Employees whose job function directly affects the safe transportation of hazardous materials must receive training within 90 days after employment, or a change in job function.

  6. Why the Emphasis on DOT HazMat Training? The United States transportation network facilitates the transportation of millions of people and over one million shipments of hazardous materials; daily (DOT, n.d.). This does not include the nation’s 2.8-million-mile pipeline transportation system consisting of natural gas and hazardous liquids that account for 64% of our nation’s energy commodities (DOT, n.d.).
