Course Description

This online instructional program is intended to help fullfil the training requirements for Department of Transportation (49 CFR 172.704) "HAZMAT". As with any online training program, site specific hazards and procedures should be reviewed by enrollees of this program.

Our program is intuitive and easy to use for yourself and your employees. Order for your entire department and use our automated invitation program to send registration codes to each individual in your department.

As always you will receive the same product and content support as you have come to expect from New Environment, Inc. Professional Confined Space instructors are standing by to answer your questions and concerns before, during and after the completion of your training.

The Department of Transportation (49 CFR 172.704) makes training mandatory for almost anyone who handles hazardous materials, regardless of the amount. This affects employees who select or fill hazardous materials packages, label containers, complete shipping papers, load or unload vehicles, transload hazardous materials, or operate vehicles used in the transport of hazardous materials. This course can be used for both the initial and recurrent training requirements.
