If your company ships hazmat or dangerous goods, the U.S. Department of Transportation requires the general awareness, safety and security training specified in 49 CFR Part 172.704 be taken every three years. This course meets the general awareness, safety, and security training requirements.

An introduction to hazardous materials
Why training is important and what the requirements are
Which agencies set the requirements, and the publications which state their requirements
The transport chain, including shipper and operator responsibilities within it
Hazmat classifications
General packing requirements and proper package selection
How to mark and label packages correctly
How to correctly document hazmat shipments

This course is an overview of the regulations, and is not for qualification or certification. This course is NOT for personnel who are responsible for acceptance checklists and regulatory review to determine compliance for a given shipment. Employees responsible for determining if packages comply with relevant regulations and employees responsible for certifying shipments (by signing a dangerous goods declaration or hazmat bill of lading) will require additional training as specified by their employer.
