DOT/IATA Training

Do your employees handle, package, label, load, unload, or create shipping documents for hazardous materials or hazardous waste shipments?

If so, they are defined as a HAZMAT employee and must receive training according to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and for California businesses the California Environmental Protection Agency (CAL-EPA). If you ship by air then IATA training is also required. 

We make the training come alive by customizing your training manuals and class examples to cover only the hazardous materials and hazardous wastes handled at your facility at no additional charge.

Life Safety eliminates the time spent on training fluff and only covers the essential training information that will be used and retained by your employees.

A final portion of the class will include walking your employees through your facility and applying the training they just learned to their world while looking for ways to improve their compliance.

Specifically, this training will include:

• Using the DOT Hazardous Materials Table;
• Preparing and tracking shipping papers including Hazardous Waste Manifests;
• Packaging;
• Marking;
• Labeling;
• Inspecting;
• Placarding the transport vehicle; and
• Final walk through of your facility.
