EMEC-301 OSHA/DOT Hazmat Training Required for All Petroleum Products Drivers

 

Federal law (49 CFR 172.704 and 29 CFR 1910-120) requires all your Hazmat drivers to undergo Hazmat training at either the awareness or operations level. DOT auditors can impose fines of up to $100,000 for noncompliance. DOT training covers the transportation of hazardous materials. OSHA training covers how employees may respond to spills (awareness – defensive only; operations – dam/dike/divert). Also covered will be new proposed hours of service changes, and the DOT’s Comprehensive Safety Analysis (CSA) that tracks your company’s and your drivers’ records. This Spring only operations recertification will be offered which means you must already be operations certified to obtain this recertification. A full certification course will be offered in the Fall.
