Any shipment that contains hazardous materials must meet regulations laid out by the Department of Transportation (DOT). This module, offered by Global Security Group, explains how to prepare shipping documentation. Upon completing the course, you will be able to write a shipping description that meets DOT regulations, provide appropriate emergency response information and declare your shipping credentials. While there are no prerequisites, this course has been designed specifically for employees who have an understanding of the DOT's nine hazard classes and three packing groups. This includes anyone involved in classifying, packing, shipping or loading hazardous materials.
