Hazmat Training Requirements

The Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) require every hazmat employer to train, test, and certify every hazmat employee within 90 days of employment, within 90 days of any change in job function, and every three years as a refresher in four areas: General awareness/familiarization training, safety training, security awareness training, and function-specific training. In addition, drivers who transport hazmat are also required to take modal-specific training.

1) General Awareness/Familiarization training (49 CFR 172.704(a)(1)): Provides knowledge of the HMR and its requirements, and enables a hazmat employee to recognize and properly identify hazardous materials.
