Hazardous materials (hazmat) can be a risk to health, safety, and property when shipped. The Department of Transportation (DOT) decides what items are considered hazmat.

The Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) are a set of rules created by The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA).

Even when all possible precautions are taken, accidents and incidents can and will happen during hazmat transportation. The HMR require all hazmat employees to be trained on the proper procedures for responding quickly and safely to leaks, spills, and other such emergencies.

Hazmat Training: Reporting an Incident is designed to help satisfy the function-specific training requirements regarding hazmat incident reporting.

Please note: 49 CFR 172.704(d) of the HMR requires each hazmat employer to create and retain a record certifying the current training of each hazmat employee. It is the responsibility of the hazmat employer to complete additional company-specific training in order to formally certify each learner. Trainers may use the J. J. Keller-issued certificate for compliance with the recordkeeping requirements in Section 172.704(d)(3). The trainer and the trainer's company are considered the "person providing the training" in Section 172.704(d)(4). Because of this, trainers should maintain additional records documenting a description or copy of the additional company-specific training materials provided to each learner.

Prerequisites

Hazmat Training: Reporting an Incident assumes the learner has Hazmat General Awareness, Security Awareness, and Safety knowledge already gained from experience or successful completion of appropriate training. Specifically, the learner must be able to:

  • Identify the required training all hazmat employees must receive
  • Determine if a material is hazardous
  • Recognize the hazard classes and divisions used to identify hazardous materials
  • Recall what makes a material a hazardous substance, hazardous waste, marine pollutant, or elevated-temperature material.
  • Indicate the importance of the Hazmat Table
  • Communicate a material's hazards through the use of shipping papers, markings, labels, and placards
  • Recognize potential hazmat security threats and ways to reduce them
  • Identify suspicious behaviors and describe how to report suspicious activity
  • List precautions drivers should take to keep hazmat safe while en route to its destination
  • Discuss the emergency response information requirements
  • Describe the types of safety training your employer may provide to keep you safe while working around hazmat

These prerequisites can be fulfilled by using J. J. Keller's Hazmat: General Awareness Training, Hazmat: Safety Training, and Hazmat: Security Awareness Training courses.
