DOT General Awareness Training

Department of Transportation

The DOT Title 49CFR (172.704) cites the mandatory training requirement for all employees who affect hazardous material transportation safety. Training is required every 3 years with initial training to be received within 90 days of employment/change in job function. If you are unsure of who at your facility requires this training, click below for the DOT’s Definition of a Hazmat Employee. However, the extensiveness of the training may be determined by the level of an employee’s involvement in the overall shipping process.
