Why Should I Attend?

The most common violation issued by US DOT is a lack of training. Training records are routinely inspected during regulatory audits. Lack of training is seen as the primary cause of non-compliant shipments of hazardous materials. These violations can, and often do, lead to unsafe incidents in transportation, fines, or frustrated shipments that can be costly in both fines and liability.

The most important part of a general awareness training is to raise the consciousness of the employees in their day-to-day job activities about when NOT to do something; unless they have specific knowledge of how to do it in compliance with the HMR. Customer complaints from non-compliant packaging are costly to repair. Even minor mistakes can cause total loss of value for a box run. While box makers are not central to the requirements of the HMR, they do perform tasks that require a compliance program, it is important and cost effective to perform these tasks with compliance systems in place with trained employees.
