The federal training rule for everyone whose work touches hazardous materials in transportation. Eight modules of narrated video teach 49 CFR Part 172, Subpart H — who counts as a hazmat employee, the Hazardous Materials Table, shipping papers, marking, labeling, placarding, safe handling, and security awareness.
Under the federal rule, a hazmat employee is anyone whose work directly affects hazardous materials transportation safety — loading, packing, marking, labeling, preparing or signing papers, accepting freight, or driving the vehicle. This course teaches the knowledge elements of that training rule: general awareness, safety training, and security awareness. Take it online, at your own pace, on a phone, tablet, or computer — your progress saves as you go.

This is HazardCue LLC's own DOT HazMat Employee course, covering the knowledge elements of the federal hazmat training rule, 49 CFR Part 172, Subpart H (§172.704): general awareness, safety training, and security awareness. Where a topic belongs to a worker's specific job, the course teaches it at awareness level and says so. Function-specific training on the exact tasks you perform, your employer's testing of you, and your employer's training record remain your employer's duty, as does renewing the training at least once every 3 years. Students who pass earn a HazardCue LLC Certificate of Completion. Questions? Email support@hazardcuewvcdltraining.com.
