Hazmat Training General Awareness/Familiarization 2.0

This application serves as a valuable tool to fulfill the mandatory general awareness training prerequisite as per legal regulations. It features eight modules specifically crafted to educate users on Hazmat guidelines, helping them identify and acknowledge dangerous materials.

The fundamental law governing hazardous materials transportation in the United States is outlined in the Federal hazardous materials transportation statute (49 U.S.C. § 5101 et seq.). This statute necessitates training for all employees handling hazardous materials to enhance safety awareness and minimize hazardous incidents. The Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) encompass training obligations within various sections of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

By completing the modules provided by this application, users can partially fulfill the hazmat training prerequisite stipulated in 49 CFR, § 173.1 for general awareness training. Employers are advised to supplement this training with additional modules to ensure full compliance with all training requisites.
