Introduction to Shipping 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.

This one-hour webinar explains the basics of shipping dangerous goods, including how to classify, package and pack them; and how to correctly complete dangerous goods forms. You’ll also come away with an understanding of the training you’ll need to become certified to ship these goods.
