Required Training Applies to:

How Often Is Hazmat Training Required?
If you’re a hazmat employee, you’ll need to complete hazmat training that meets the requirements in the regulations within the first 90 days of hire or change in job function.
After your initial training, you’ll need to receive training every three years to stay current. Let Transport Safety Consultants get your team into compliance and deliver your recurrent training!
