HMT-130 - Transportation by Motor Vehicle or Aircraft - Initial Training - 4 Days
Preparing Hazardous Materials (Dangerous Goods) for Transportation by Motor Vehicle or Aircraft
This 4 day introductory-level course covers the basic skills needed to prepare, offer and accept shipments of hazardous materials by ground and air. HMT-130 capitalizes on the harmonization between the HMR and DGR to combine two separate courses
(HMT-100 and HMT-200) into one 4-day session reducing training costs, travel expenses and time out of the office. Instruction will focus on non-bulk packages.
Meets applicable requirements for initial and recurrent training.
