Video Runtime: 17:01 English/23:12 Spanish

Overview: Hazardous materials (hazmat) can be a risk to health, safety, and property when shipped. The Department of Transportation (DOT) decides what items are considered hazmat. The Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) are a set of rules created by The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). As part of a complete hazmat training program, the HMR require all hazmat employees are trained in the following areas: General Awareness, Function-Specific, Safety, and Security. Ensure your employees are taking all the required training.

The HMR contain the hazardous materials table (hazmat table). This table has over 3,000 hazardous materials. You will need to know how to read the hazmat table as part of your job.

Hazmat Training: The Hazardous Materials Table is designed to help satisfy the hazmat function-specific training requirements regarding the hazmat table.

Please note: 49 CFR 172.704(d) of the HMR requires each hazmat employer to create and retain a record certifying the current training of each hazmat employee. It is the responsibility of the hazmat employer to complete additional company-specific training in order to formally certify each learner. Trainers may use the J. J. Keller-issued certificate for compliance with the recordkeeping requirements in Section 172.704(d)(3). The trainer and the trainer’s company are considered the “person providing the training” in Section 172.704(d)(4). Because of this, trainers should maintain additional records documenting a description or copy of the additional company-specific training materials provided to each learner.
