About The Course

Transporting hazardous materials demands a strong awareness of potential risks and strict adherence to federal safety standards. Improper handling or classification can lead to accidents, environmental harm, and significant legal consequences.

This course introduces participants to the principles of HazMat transportation, with a focus on recognising hazardous materials, interpreting shipping labels and safety data, and understanding the responsibilities of all parties involved in transport. It is ideal for professionals in logistics, shipping, healthcare, and emergency response who handle or manage the movement of regulated substances.

Learners will become familiar with DOT hazard classes, marking and labelling requirements, packaging types, safety precautions, and emergency procedures.
