Multimodal DOT & IATA HAZMAT Shipping
Shipping Dangerous Goods by Air and Road
Online Training Certification Course
From the highest rated and most trusted online training company - since 2008.
This DOT and IATA Multimodal HAZMAT Shipping Safety Training Course covers regulations for safely transporting hazardous materials and dangerous goods by road and air, including how to properly identify, mark, label, placard, and package different classes of hazardous materials.
This course is for:
Multimodal training is ideal for workers who pack, load, transport, and inspect hazardous materials that are subject to IATA, and DOT shipping regulations. This course trains workers who transport different shipments over different platforms as well as workers whose shipments are carried over more than one platform along a single route.
Case Study:
A DC-10 jetliner landed at O’Hare Airport in Chicago and cleared the aircraft of passengers, crew, and luggage. It was preparing for the next flight when a fire started. Within minutes, the flames burned through the top of the plane and completely destroyed the aircraft. Luckily, no one was onboard, and the workers cleaning the plane were able to escape. There were no injuries, and the fire crew had the fire under control before the fuel tank exploded. Investigations later determined that the fire was caused by the accidental activation of an oxygen canister that was being shipped to a repair station.
Between 2001 and 2007, the Federal Aviation Administration investigated over 80 incidents of undeclared or improperly prepared oxygen generators, accounting for over $3 million in civil penalties.

It will take a MINIMUM of six hours to take this online course. The student may log on and off as needed. A bookmark will be set so when they log back in they will return to where they left off.
We have no restrictions on how long a person takes to complete a course. Likewise, if you are purchasing for others, we have no time limit on assigning courses, so you can purchase a larger quantity than you currently need and take advantage of volume discounts.
Multimodal regulators all have unique retraining requirements. Routine online certification can keep workers up to date on HAZMAT procedures no matter what transportation platforms they manage. The particular regulations are as follows:
- The IATA DGR requires recurrent training within 24 months of the previous training, unless a relevant authority defines a shorter interval.
- The DOT HAZMAT Shipping regulations require recurrent training every three years.
Since the shortest retraining requirement is two years, we will email you twenty-one days before your certification expires so you have time to retrain.
Each student will receive 0.6 CEUs (or 6 CMEs) from Compliance Training Online® for completing this course.
