Description:  This training is presented by a Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) certified HMIT (Hazardous Materials Instructor Trainer). Utilizing a CVSA certified instructor provides participants with the most up to date Haz/mat regulatory training available along with a Roadside Inspection enforcement perspective.

Presentation to cover general requirements necessary for a Carrier to comply with FMCSA Haz/Mat regulations. This presentation can double as a refresher course bringing the Carrier up to date on current requirements or as a guide for Carriers contemplating the addition of Hazardous Materials shipments to their operations.

In some situations, Hazardous Material duties have been handed down to employees over periods of time. Employees inheriting these duties may be using outdated guidelines attempting to be compliant with FMCSA regulations, just because that’s the way it has always been done. The instructor, whose background as a FMCSA Auditor will outline the gaps in training and management controls that investigators often see.

Topic to be addressed are:

• Applicability
• General DOT hazardous materials requirements
• CVSA North American out-of service criteria (h/m)
• HM registration
• HM permitting
• Hazardous materials shipper responsibilities
• Incident reporting
• Hazardous materials table
• Hazardous materials communications
• Hazardous materials training
• Security plans
• Emergency response guidebooks (2016)

The “Function Specific” training component will be briefly reviewed but is specific to each carrier. All NCTA members will be offered an opportunity for review of their Function Specific Training component and Haz/Mat Training program at deeply discounted rates only available for NCTA members.
