DOT Hazardous Materials Shipping for Environmental Professionals

Environmental professionals responsible for shipping supplies, equipment and samples related to hazardous waste site investigation and remediation may be required to meet the DOT's regulations for shipping hazardous materials. This web-based, online course will discuss the fundamentals of shipping hazardous materials and hazardous wastes and discuss quantity exemptions and exceptions which may apply to environmental samples. Some samples will be classified as hazardous materials. Individuals shipping these items must comply with the Hazardous Materials Regulations. The regulations require individuals to receive initial training and be retrained at least once every 3 years. This course is based on the requirements for training as specified in 49 CFR 172 Subpart H, including testing of participants.

Shipping more than 100 ml?

This highly specific course covers the exceptions for shipping environmental samples (such as groundwater samples, sludge, or hazardous waste). If you ship materials other than environmental samples, or if you ship more than around 100 ml or 100 grams, we suggest you take a look at DOT Hazardous Materials Transportation before making your decision. You will find it to be a more comprehensive course for shipping hazardous materials.
