DOT Driver (CDL) HAZMAT Transportation

Online Training Certification Course

49 CFR 177

From the highest rated and most trusted online training company - since 2008.

Drivers must receive specialized shipping training that helps them deal with hazardous materials. Our online training certification course covers important concepts of HAZMAT driver training, including how to safely load, unload, store, and transport hazardous materials on the road. Online training content also covers best practices to properly mark, label, identify, placard, and package different classes of hazardous materials.

HAZMAT materials are found all around us, from gasoline to batteries, pharmaceuticals, cleaning supplies, and more. When potentially dangerous materials are on the move, CDL HAZMAT driver training ensures that HAZMAT drivers keep themselves, the roads, and our communities safe.

This course is for:
Both carriers and shippers must receive proper training as required by the HMR. HAZMAT employees involved in road-based transportation must be trained as required by Part 172 Subpart H, as well as the general compliance and testing for motor carriers covered in Part 177.800.

CASE STUDY:

On February 13th, 1991, a tractor-semi trailer cargo tank overturned on a main highway when the driver lost control of the vehicle in a curve. The vehicle overturned on its side and struck the embankment of a drainage ditch in a dirt field beside the road. The cargo tank, which contained 8,800 gallons of automotive gasoline, landed on a dirt field beside the road, while the rear end of the tank landed on a car parked in the field.

Fifteen minutes later the gasoline ignited a residence, and went on to engulf the overturned cargo tank, the car beneath it, and a second car nearby. Gasoline runoff in the drainage ditch entered the underground drainage system and was also ignited.

In addition to the total loss of the tank truck, its cargo, and the two parked cars, four homes and their contents were heavily destroyed and all the residents within a two-mile-square area were forced to evacuate.
