Hazmat Shipping: 2010 Hazardous Materials/Dangerous Goods Highway and Air Shipping Refresher Training

This workshop provides information on IATA/DOT regulatory changes and practical examples of shipping sample and waste by air and highway. It will help hazmat employees comply with 49 CFR 172.704(c)(2), which requires training and testing every three years. Topics to be addressed are: Hazmat identification techniques, new marking and labeling requirements, new shipping paper requirements and emergency response information recommendations. In-class examples will include mathematical Class 6 determination, PCB shipping modal differences, SUMA canister hazard determination and shipping, small quantities versus excepted quantities, materials of trade and hazardous waste reminders. The test will be segmented so each student only can complete the parts he or she needs (air or highway only). Students will receive IATA regulations, federal regulations, course slides and a certificate of completion. This class is a refresher, not an initial shipping class.
