This course meets the general awareness/familiarization training requirements specified in 49 CFR 172.704.   

It does NOT meet your security awareness or function-specific training requirements. 

Who Should Take DOT HazMat General Awareness Training?

FAQs

What's the Difference Between the General Awareness and Advanced General Awareness Courses? 

General Awareness is the 1-hour course that meets your general awareness requirement ONLY.   

Advanced General Awareness is a 10-hour course. In addition to the general awareness requirement, it meets your security awareness requirement AND it provides an overview of all (modal-specific) carrier requirements. 

When and How Often Do I Need DOT HazMat Training? 

By DOT regulation, you need to complete initial HazMat training: 

  • Within 90 days of being hired as a new HazMat employee  
  • Within 90 days of changing HazMat duties as an existing employee   
  • Within 90 days of a revised security plan being implemented (applies to in-depth security training ONLY) 

If you start performing duties before you're trained, you need to perform your duties under the direct supervision of a properly trained and knowledgeable HazMat employee. 

Then, training needs to be repeated at least once every 3 years.
