DOT HAZMAT Awareness, Security & Function Specific

DOT HAZMAT Awareness training provides essential knowledge for individuals involved in the handling, packaging, marking, labeling, and transportation of hazardous materials. This training ensures that workers understand the Department of Transportation (DOT) Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) and their responsibilities in preventing accidents, ensuring compliance, and maintaining workplace safety.

Our DOT HAZMAT Awareness Training covers the fundamental principles of hazardous materials transportation, including hazard classification, packaging requirements, marking and labeling regulations, proper shipping documentation, emergency response procedures, and security awareness. The course includes a certificate of completion you can download and print for your records.

To become a DOT HAZMAT worker, individuals must complete the appropriate DOT HAZMAT training based on their specific job responsibilities. Employees involved in handling, packaging, labeling, or transporting hazardous materials are required to take HAZMAT Awareness Training in accordance with 49 CFR Part 172, Subpart H. Our DOT HAZMAT Awareness Training course provides the foundational knowledge needed to comply with these regulations. Depending on the job role and mode of transportation, additional function-specific, safety, and security training may also be required.

There is no official DOT HAZMAT Awareness certification. What people typically refer to as certification actually means completing the required training. Our DOT HAZMAT Awareness course provides a certificate of completion, verifying that you have successfully completed the required training. It is also 100% online, so you can learn anytime, on any mobile device.

Our DOT HAZMAT Awareness Training includes a minimum of three hours of course content; however, the total time required depends on the individual's pace. Since the course is self-paced, the time needed to complete quizzes and exams may vary.

The minimum time required to complete this online course is three hours. You can pause and resume at any time, and your progress will be saved so you can continue where you left off.
You must complete the course within 60 days, as access will expire after that period.

According to 49 CFR Part 172, Subpart H of the HMR, all HAZMAT employees must undergo initial training before performing job functions related to hazardous materials. After initial training, employees must complete recurrent training at least once every three years. However, air carrier employees must be retrained at least every two years. In cases where work environments change, incidents occur, or new regulations are introduced, earlier retraining may be required to maintain compliance.
