DOT Hazmat Transportation — General Awareness with Function-Specific Training (Packaging & Labeling)

Course Overview

The DOT Hazmat Transportation General Awareness with Function-Specific Training in Packaging and Labeling course is designed to teach learners how to identify and select the correct packaging, markings, and labels for specific hazardous material classes. Proper packaging and labeling prevent spills, releases, and regulatory violations during transportation by highway, rail, air, or vessel.

Standards covered in this course are contained in 49 CFR Parts 171–180 (Hazardous Materials Regulations — HMR), as enforced by the U.S. Department of Transportation and PHMSA. For a deeper dive into function-specific hazmat training, consider our 10-hour DOT Hazmat Transportation: Advanced General Awareness Training.

  • Personnel designing, manufacturing, inspecting, maintaining, reconditioning, repairing, or testing packaging, containers, or packaging components used to store/transport hazardous materials
  • Individuals handling hazardous materials packages along the transportation chain
  • Persons responsible for marking, labeling, or otherwise indicating the presence of hazardous materials in packages
