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.

Hazmat Safety Priorities for Manufacturers

Health, Safety, Security, and Sustainability Risks

Beyond regulatory compliance, manufacturing of goods carries health, safety, security and sustainability risks requiring management at a corporate level, including:

  • People, Environment, Assets and Reputation (PEAR) risks
  • Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) risks
  • Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks
  • Responsible Care® risks
  • Business Continuity (BC) risks

Most manufacturing organizations will use hazardous materials or dangerous goods in the making of their finished products and therefore have the responsibility of complying with various regulations surrounding the safe use and handling of chemicals, training of their staff and, incident preparedness, response, and recovery.

The finished products, not only from chemical manufacturers but also from many other types of manufacturers, may have classifiable hazards under the supply1 regulations and/or may be classified as hazardous materials or dangerous goods for transportation under one or more transport modes. Regulatory compliance support across multiple jurisdictions is therefore required.
