Hazardous Materials
The DOT requires every employee who has anything to do with the transportation of HM (warehouse, shipping, clerical, management, drivers, etc.) to be trained and tested every three years. This class must cover general awareness (classification, packaging, marking, labeling, shipping papers, placards), function specific, safety, and security plans.
Learn how to set up your HM procedures and write your security plan.
Hazardous Materials and IATA
Fines for hazardous materials violations on aircraft can be assessed at 10 times as high as those on the ground. Since international HM (Dangerous Goods) regulations were the source to our domestic laws they are similar enough to cover during the same class. In the process of covering the general HM procedures we will direct our attention to both the U.S. Hazardous Materials Regulations as well as the International Air Transport Association’s Dangerous Goods Regulations. We will point out the unique differences found between the regulations.
This seminar meets both the U.S. and IATA training mandates.
