Every day in the U.S., there are many shipments of hazardous materials (HAZMATs). According to the Security of Transportation, these substances and materials are capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety and property during transportation. To mitigate this risk, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) enforces strict regulations for transporting hazardous materials.

Our DOT HAZMAT Specialist course offers students a comprehensive understanding of hazardous materials and up-to-date information about DOT standards for HAZMAT transportation.
