Free Webinar: Introduction to Shipping Dangerous Goods

Join dangerous goods and hazmat specialist Rob Smith in this webinar as he teaches you the basics of shipping hazardous materials and dangerous goods.

Compliance with the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) hazmat regulations begins with taking responsibility of the articles or substances that are deemed classified as hazardous materials. These materials must be offered for transport with a statement included in the shipping papers that certifies a hazardous material shipment is in full compliance.
