The objectives of the DOT Hazmat: Carrier Requirements - Air/IATA are to meet the Federal DOT modal specific training requirements of 49 CFR 175.20 and Part 172, Subpart H of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR).
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
A complete DOT Hazardous Materials training curriculum must include:
Each Hazmat Employer must train, test and certify each Hazmat Employee within 90 days of employment. Recurrent training is required at least once every 3 years.
Initial training is required within 90 days for new employees or employees who assume new hazmat-related responsibilities. Untrained employees may perform hazardous materials employee functions, but only under direct supervision.
The Department of Transportation requires all hazmat employees to be retrained and tested at least once every 3 years. However, the FAA, under 14 CFR, requires retraining for air carrier employees every 2 years.
Both the DOT and FAA require employers to maintain training records.
This DOT Hazmat: Carrier Requirements - Air/IATA course provides training in the shipping requirements for any personnel involved in the transportation of hazardous materials by air.
Additional training may be warranted depending on the role of the worker and their level of involvement, which may include emergency response training, additional DOT hazardous materials training, or training in the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) used as part of the job.
Additional training in the use of any personal protective equipment (PPE) or clothing used as part of emergency response is also required and should be provided by your employer.
Workers must receive additional training, when required by Federal, State, or local regulations, on the specific hazards of their job. Training providers should be used to ensure credibility and augment a company's training program. Therefore, in addition to the training provided by an outside party, a student should receive site-specific training supplied by his or her employer. This training should target the company's unique approach to hazard prevention, including the use of site-specific equipment, health and safety policies, and emergency procedures. As a rule, this company-specific training should be well documented.
