Course Overview
This online DOT HAZMAT Safety Training course focuses on employees who handle as well as transport hazardous materials. Created specifically for the Department of Transportation's HAZMAT Training regulation on Handling and Transporting Hazardous Materials, MARCOM's DOT HAZMAT Safety Training course provides the Safety Training required by the regulation. (While this course can be used by itself, it can also be used as a companion product to MARCOM's DOT HAZMAT General Awareness course). The course makes employees aware of the hazards associated with the materials they handle... and shows them how to work with these materials safely. Areas covered in the course include the regulation itself, hazardous materials that employees may encounter, hazard indicators such as labels, shipping papers and placards, the use of personal protective equipment, proper handling procedures, methods and procedures for avoiding accidents, accidents/emergencies involving hazardous materials, spills and cleanup procedures, and more.
