HMW-150 Preparing Hazardous Materials/Dangerous Goods for Transportation by Multiple Modes – Initial Training
This 5-day introductory-level dangerous good training course covers the basic skills needed to prepare, offer, and accept shipments of hazardous materials by ground, air, and water. HMW-150 capitalizes on the harmonization between the three different codes to combine three separate
courses into one 5-day session, reducing training time and cost. Instruction will focus on non-bulk packages.
Meets applicable requirements for initial and recurrent hazmat training.
Please Note: If outside the continental United States, please email us at training@dgac.org to make special arrangements before registering through our website.
Registration closes when all seats are taken, or two business days before the webinar begins, whichever comes first.
