HazMat Employers are required to certify that their HazMat Employees are trained and evaluated to ensure both a basic understanding of the regulations and the specific requirements of their jobs. The US DOT defines hazardous materials employees as anyone whose job functions directly affects the transportation of hazardous materials, including employees who design, manufacture, test, mark, or otherwise represent packagings as qualified for use in the transport of hazardous materials [See: 49 CFR 171.1(a)]. All “Hazmat Employees” as defined in the regulations must receive specified training [See: 49 CFR §172 Subpart H] within 90 days of starting employment and generally every three years thereafter [See: 49 CFR 172.704].

Webinar Descriptions & Times

Webinar 1: Hazardous Materials General & Security Awareness
Tuesday, December 3 | 3:15 P.M. EST (90 minutes)

This webinar is a general awareness and security awareness session to familiarize hazmat employees with the structure and concepts of the US Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR).
-Identification of Hazardous Materials for the purposes of HMR
-Hazard Classification System of the HMR
-Use of the Hazardous Materials Regulations for shipments
-Markings and labels for packages of hazardous materials place carding

Webinar 2: Labeling Requirements Under the HMR
Wednesday, December 4 | 3:15 P.M. EST (60 minutes)

Box converters often print Marks and Labels on behalf of their customers. This webinar explains the requirements of 49 CFR Subparts D (Marking) and E (Labeling) of Part 172 as related to boxmakers.

The Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) apportion responsibilities to “persons” who perform “functions” as applicable in the HMR. The HMR states that:

§171.2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Each person who performs a function covered by this subchapter must perform that function in accordance with this subchapter.”

§178.2 APPLICABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY
This part applies to—
Each person who offers a hazardous material for transportation, and.....
When a person, other than one of those provided for in paragraph (a) of this section, performs a packaging labeling or marking function required by this part, that person shall perform the function in accordance with this part.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
-The requirements of 49 CFR Subparts D (Marking) and E (Labeling) of Part 172 as applicable to boxmakers
-Identification of the sections in the regulations applicable to printing
-Specific regulatory requirements pertaining to required packaging Marks and Labels: size, style, color, background, and placement

Webinar 3: Boxmaker: 4G Fabrication Responsibilities
Thursday, December 5 | 3:15 P.M. EST (60 minutes)

This webinar presents an analysis of the requirements of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) with respect to “packaging manufacturers” as defined in the regulations; and any parties, such as a box maker that performs regulated functions on behalf of their “packaging manufacturer” customers.

HMR apportion responsibilities to “persons” who perform “functions” as applicable in the HMR. The HMR states that:

§171.2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
“(a) Each person who performs a function covered by this subchapter must perform that function in accordance with this subchapter.” In addition, we see that there are specific functions under the HMR, the responsibility for which, are apportioned to any party that performs a regulated function for a “packaging manufacturer.”

§178.2 APPLICABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY
“…(2) A manufacturer of a packaging subject to the requirements of this part is primarily responsible for compliance with the requirements of this part. However, any person who performs a function prescribed in this part shall perform that function in accordance with this part.”

These requirements could affect a box converter, even if they are NOT the "Packaging Manufacturer" as identified in the regulations.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
-The requirements of 49 CFR Subparts L and M of Part 178 as applicable to box converters
-Identification of the “Packaging Manufacturer” for the purpose of regulations
-Definition of a “Different Packaging” for the purposes of the regulations as applicable to fiberboard boxes. Particularly focused on the requirements for manufacturing a 4G packaging from a previously manufactured packaging identified in a Design Qualification Test Report
-Specific requirements for hazardous materials packaging [specifically fiberboard (4G) packaging] applicable to box makers and packaging manufacturers.
-Testing requirements for UN specification packagings
-Record retention
-Quality considerations that can influence regulatory compliance
