The US DOT requires hazmat employers to provide hazardous materials training to ensure each "hazmat employee has familiarity with the general provisions of Subchapter C, 49 CFR and is able to recognize and identify hazardous materials, has knowledge of specific requirements Hazardous Materials Training - VOHMA Offers 49 CFR Training, IMDG Code & HAZMAT Training applicable to functions performed by the employee, and has knowledge of emergency response information, self-protection measures and accident prevention methods and procedures." Failure to train employees can result in heavy fines and increase exposure to liability.

49 CFR, Part 172, Subpart H, requires that all hazardous materials employees must be trained within 90 days of starting employment and must receive recurrent training at least every three years. Job changes and regulatory amendments may require retraining.

DOT authorizes training in the modal regulations for international and intermodal shippers and carriers.

The Vessel Operators Hazardous Materials Association, an International association of hazardous materials experts, has designed this series of one and three day hazardous materials training programs to enable shippers, consolidators, forwarders, carriers and all other hazmat employees in the transportation industry to avail themselves of the best training available while meeting the training requirements of the US DOT.

"Great course! Would recommend to others." -- Wendy Cart, Training Specialist, Honeywell

"I enjoyed the course very much. It was the most informative course I have taken which covers commercial shipping." -- CW05 Lawrence Palmer, Embarkation Officer, USMC Blount Island Command

VOHMA has designed these courses to meet the needs of the various levels of Hazmat employees throughout the transportation industry - operations managers, traffic managers, shipping and receiving personnel, import/export specialists, transportation managers and other employees of carriers, forwarders, third party shipping agents, shippers and enforcement personnel.

Each course includes testing and certification. 

International Maritime
Dangerous Goods Seminar

A three day program that provides hazmat employees with a working knowledge of the latest regulations contained in the IMDG Code, published by the International Maritime Organization, that governs the transportation of dangerous goods by vessel both domestically and internationally, is also offered. There are no pre-requisites and entry-level as well as experienced dangerous goods professionals will find the course very beneficial. Training subjects include classification, packaging, marking, labeling, placarding, documenting, handling, shipping, stowing, segregating, transporting, or otherwise engaging in commerce within the scope of the IMDG Code and 49 CFR in the US.
