DOT Training Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Training by Class Numbers

"Hazardous Materials" is a very comprehensive subject. The important concept to understand is recognition. DOT placards are placed on vehicles, DOT labels are placed on packages, and the 704 Diamonds are placed on buildings or storage areas containing hazardous materials. Being able to recognize warning signs and being able to recognize that there is a hazardous condition present may save your life and the lives of others. 49 CFR § 172.704: (a) DOT Hazmat employee training must include the following:

(1) General awareness/familiarization training. Each hazmat employee shall be provided general awareness/familiarization training designed to provide familiarity with the requirements of this subchapter, and to enable the employee to recognize and identify hazardous materials consistent with the hazard communication standards of this subchapter.

(2) Function-specific training. (i) Each hazmat employee shall be provided function-specific training concerning requirements of this subchapter, or exemptions issued under subchapter A of this chapter, which are specifically applicable to the functions the employee performs. (iii) Methods and procedures for avoiding accidents, such as the proper procedures for handling packages containing hazardous materials.

(3) Security awareness training. No later than the date of the first scheduled recurrent training after March 25, 2003, and in no case later than March 24, 2006, each hazmat employee must receive training that provides an awareness of security risks associated with hazardous materials transportation and methods designed to enhance transportation security. This training must also include a component covering how to recognize and respond to possible security threats.
