Hazardous Materials Classification – Basic

HZM-1.2

Hazardous materials can be dangerous. However, they can also be very useful. Hazardous materials are used in manufacturing, service industries and many other applications. To protect the people who transport these substances and the public at large, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has created a hazardous materials classification system Learners who successfully complete this course will demonstrate knowledge of how to identify general definitions related to the DOT’s hazardous materials classification. This course is designed for workers that, during the execution of any job duties, are required to work with or around hazardous materials. Additional training is available if employees require more comprehensive training over the Hazardous Materials Table.
