Course Details
The 49 CFR Shipping Hazardous Materials course gives shipping, warehouse, and logistics personnel a comprehensive, self-paced online path to the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) hazardous materials transportation requirements found in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Delivered entirely online as asynchronous, LMS-based learning, this program lets hazmat employees study the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) at their own pace within the assigned course access period. You will learn how to identify hazardous materials, classify shipments by hazard class and division, and use the Hazardous Materials Table to determine proper shipping names, identification numbers, and packing groups. The training walks through shipper responsibilities under 49 CFR, including marking and labeling packages, preparing compliant shipping papers with emergency response information, and selecting appropriate packaging. Additional modules address placarding, transportation security considerations, and the recurring hazmat employee training and retraining intervals set out in 49 CFR 172.704. Because it maps regulatory rules to real-world shipping scenarios across highway, rail, air, and vessel, the course helps EHS and compliance staff recognize common violations before they occur.
This one-hour course carries 0.1 IACET CEU and awards a certificate of completion, a record of training rather than a government license, that documents your hazmat instruction for employer recordkeeping. There are no formal prerequisites, though a general familiarity with shipping or transportation operations is helpful. Everything is accessible on demand through the TTI Learning Management System, so you can start, pause, and resume the material whenever your schedule allows. Enroll today to build the practical knowledge needed to prepare, package, mark, label, and offer hazardous materials in compliance with 49 CFR.
