What Some of Our Clients Say

"The hazmat training was taylored to our operations with clear delivery. I like how Earl engaged the class and asked them questions to get them involved"
Why Onsite Dangerous Goods Training Works Better
Online courses tend to teach the regulations in a stale format that doesn’t allow students to ask questions. Onsite training uses information about your operation teach your team members.
Train multiple team members at once
Sessions can cover multiple hazmat employees at the facility, which can be more cost effective that sending people to training.
Customized curriculum
We tailor the instruction to your hazard classes, shipping modes, and common problem areas, so nobody sits through material that doesn’t apply to their job.
Minimal downtime
Because the course comes to your facility, your team stays close to the floor and you avoid travel time and travel costs.
Compliance Documentation
Participants are trained and tested as required in 49 CFR 172.704; Your company receives the list of attendees along with classroom materials for compliance purposes.
Every Program Starts With 49 CFR.
The Hazardous Materials Regulations in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations are the foundation that every shipper and carrier in the United States must understand before moving on to mode-specific rules. Whether your team ultimately ships by land, air or by ocean, the core concepts start here.
49 CFR establishes the fundamentals that carry across every mode: how hazardous materials are classified, how to use the Hazardous Materials Table, reportable quantities, marine pollutants and the rules for packaging, marking, labeling, placarding, and shipping papers. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (air) and the IMDG Code (ocean) build on top of that foundation.
That’s why we start your team in 49 CFR first, then add IATA or IMDG (or both) training as an option, based on your company’s needs.
“49 CFR is the common language of hazmat compliance. Learn it first, and IATA and IMDG make sense.”
Dangerous Goods Training For Every Mode You Ship
Dangerous goods move by land, air, and sea. Each mode has its own regulatory framework, but it all starts with 49 CFR parts 100-180. We deliver onsite training across all three, individually or as a combined multi-modal program.

Who on Your Team Needs This Training?
Under the regulations, training is not limited to drivers or shippers. Any employee who handles hazardous materials in the transportation chain has a training responsibility, and the rules cover more people than most companies expect.
- Anyone who meets the definition of a "hazmat employee" under 49 CFR §171.8
- Warehouse and shipping staff who load, unload, handle, or store hazmat
- Staff who classify materials or prepare shipping papers and declarations
- Managers and supervisors who oversee any of the above
- Shippers and personnel who prepare or offer hazardous materials for transport
- Employees responsible for packaging, marking, labeling, or placarding
- Freight forwarders, consolidators, and packers
New hazmat employees must be trained within 90 days, and recurrent training is required at least every three years. Recurrent training can be delivered onsite as well.
Classes Tailored To Your Operations
Before training day, we learn how your facility works: the hazardous materials you ship, the modes you use, the UN numbers you see most often, and the compliance gaps you’re worried about.
We then customize the curriculum so the instruction maps directly to your shipments.
That means your team spends its time on the classification, packaging, and documentation they actually encounter, not generic material.
“Your team learns what it actually needs to know, built on your freight, your modes, and your real-world challenges.”
