Online DOT Hazardous Material Shipping Training Course for Environmental Professionals


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 discusses the fundamentals of shipping hazardous materials and hazardous wastes, including 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 also covers the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, and is geared towards individuals who sign manifests for shipments of hazardous waste.

A brief discussion of shipments to and from Canada is also included.

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?
In addition to covering the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, this highly specific course also covers the exceptions for shipping environmental samples (such as groundwater samples, sludge, or hazardous waste). If you ship materials other than environmental samples and hazardous wastes, or if you ship samples of 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.
