This course covers Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements for packaging and shipping small quantities of hazardous materials by highway within the United States. Before taking this course, you should have already completed Skillsoft's DOT hazardous material transportation Modules 1 to 4, or other similar training, and have relevant experience using the DOT Hazardous Materials Tables. This course builds on those concepts as they relate to packaging small quantities for shipment by putting you into situations where you'll identify materials in the DOT Hazardous Materials Table and determine whether an exception applies and how it affects the packaging, marking, labeling, and preparation of shipping papers for small quantities of different types of hazardous materials in specific situations. This course does not address the requirements for shipping small quantities of hazardous materials by aircraft, rail, or vessel. This course was developed with subject matter support provided by EnSafe Inc., a global professional services company focusing on engineering, environment, health and safety, and information technology.
