About

Our online DOT & IATA Multimodal HAZMAT Shipping training is tailored for individuals tasked with the safe transport of hazardous materials and dangerous goods by both road and air. Throughout this program, you will master the techniques to correctly identify, mark, label, placard, and package different hazardous material classes in compliance with DOT and IATA standards. Upon completing the course, you’ll be equipped to implement the most up-to-date shipping guidelines, ensuring regulatory compliance and mitigating risk, and you’ll receive a downloadable certificate of completion.

This training is designed for logistics coordinators, hazardous materials shippers, warehouse staff, and safety managers who handle dangerous goods. It is perfect for anyone involved in the preparation, packaging, or transportation of hazardous materials, ensuring that all practices meet strict regulatory and safety standards. The multimodal approach is especially valuable for workers who pack, load, transport, and inspect hazardous materials under IATA and DOT regulations.

If you do not have a copy, you should consider purchasing the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) Manual both for reference purposes in your day-to-day shipping operations, and while taking this course.
