Online DOT Hazardous Materials Training
The Department of Transportation (DOT) serves the United States by ensuring a safe and accessible nationwide transportation system. The DOT also regulates the transportation of hazardous materials, and such material must be prepared in accordance with the DOT Hazardous Materials Regulations of 49 CFR 100-185 (HMR). Violators can have their shipments rejected and returned and/or be penalized (up to $186,610 per civil violation). Our training is designed to instruct employees in the requirements of the HMR as they pertain to offering hazardous materials, including hazardous waste, for highway shipment.
