HAZMAT General Awareness

These training courses, were created specifically for the Department of Transportation's HAZMAT Training regulation on “Handling and Transporting”   and Hazardous Materials Awareness.  All of the training products provide the information necessary to comply with the regulation's "Hazmat General Awareness" training requirements. (While these products can be used by themselves, they are better utilized with our “DOT HAZMAT” "Safety Training" products).  Our "DOT HAZMAT General Awareness" focuses on employees who handle hazardous materials. The products address a number of topics, such as, awareness and safety during an encounter with hazardous chemicals, the nature of the hazards, and the issue of taking appropriate security measures when dealing with hazardous materials awareness that the DOT has added to the regulation. Topics covered in these products include: What regulation are, Why the regulations were created, Hazardous materials, definitions and classes, Hazard communication, The proper use of PPE while handling hazardous material, Hazard "indicators", such as labels, shipping papers and placards, Where hazardous materials may be encountered, Packaging and storage, Shipping, Transports (trucks, ships, rail, etc.), Security risks and terrorism, and more.
