DOT Hazardous Material Training

This training is specifically geared toward Regulated Medical Waste generators and transporters

The U.S. Department of Transportation regulates shipments of Hazardous Materials and under 49 CFR 172, Subpart H any personnel who prepares or transports hazardous materials - Regulated Medical Waste (RMW)) are subject to the hazmat employee training requirements.

How does my practice fall under these guidelines?
Any person who prepares RMW for transport and anyone who signs the Biomedical Waste manifest is signing on behalf of the generator (your facility) and is subject to DOT requirements (49 CFR 172 Subpart H and 172 Subpart C). Your employees are therefore considered hazmat employees and the requirements are applicable.

Hazardous Waste Personnel must receive initial training within six months of employment or assuming a new job function that is applicable to the regulations. They must be directly supervised by trained and knowledgeable personnel if they perform a regulated function before receiving initial training.

Our training session includes:
General awareness/Familiarization
Function-specific training
Safety training
Security awareness
Security plan training (Large Quantity Generators only)
Certificate of completion

*Employee trainings are conducted either ONLINE, IN PERSON or by LIVE VIRTUAL WEB training with our Biomed Hazardous Waste Management trainer

· Employees receive proper waste handling and emergency procedures, relevant to employees responsibilities and specific for your facility

· Sign-in sheets and handouts are provided

After completing the training session, the HazMat employee is required to take and pass the DOT HazMat test

Upon successful completion, a certificate will be awarded documenting the training requirements according to Section 172.704 of title 49 CFR
