Frequently Asked Questions About Hazmat Training

Why do I need to comply with hazmat shipping regulations?

Between the inherent hazards of the job and the repercussions of violating federal training regulations, regular hazmat training is a clear necessity. CHEMTREC's online hazmat training helps meet training requirements by keeping industry professionals informed of changing regulations and updated on required practices for handling, shipping, and packaging of hazardous materials.

Companies must comply with hazmat shipping regulations to arrange the safe transport of hazardous materials, protect the public's safety and the environment, and to facilitate efficient emergency response in case of an incident. Non-compliance can result in severe consequences including legal penalties and reputational damage. 

Since the need for proper education before handling, packing, shipping, or transporting hazardous materials is so important, the U.S. Department of Transportation issues training regulations under the Pipleline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration's Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR). 

Who needs hazmat training?

Every employer that deals with materials regulated under the U.S. DOT Hazardous Materials Regulations in any way is responsible for training its own employees, with no exceptions for the size of the business. Even a self-employed individual under these guidelines must comply with training requirements.
