DOT Haz-Mat General Awareness Training
If you had a DOT audit today, would you be able to document your employees have had even the basic awareness training?
The DOT Haz-Mat regulations Part 172.700 requires all Haz-Mat employees to be trained in general awareness/familiarization of the Haz-Mat rules. In addition, there are other requirements that are company specific.

If attendees are planning to use this class to meet DOT training requirements, they will be offered the opportunity to complete a test. The test will take 45 to 60 minutes. If attendees pass the optional test, a certificate of completion will be provided for documentation in the event of DOT audits.
