Dangerous goods training is required for anyone who handles or ships dangerous goods by ground, air, or ocean. You have to be trained in IATA\/ICAO regulations (if you ship by air), 49 CFR (if you ship by ground), or IMDG regulations (if you ship by vessel).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Choosing the right dangerous goods online training provider is critical if you want to be adequately trained in the applicable federal and international regulations related to the safe transportation of dangerous goods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The factors you need to consider while choosing a dangerous goods online training provider are listed below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Does the dangerous goods training provider offer initial training as well as recurrent training programs? Do their training programs thoroughly cover all relevant regulations? These are the first questions you need to ask while choosing a hazmat training provider.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It is also advisable to choose a training provider who offers function-specific training programs for each mode of transportation (IATA programs for air, IMDG programs for\u00a0 ocean, and <\/span>49 CFR<\/span> programs for ground). If you ship by more than one mode of transportation, then you would likely choose a dangerous goods training provider that offers <\/span>multimodal training programs<\/span><\/a>. These in-depth courses cover the dangerous goods regulations pertaining to two or three modes of transportation, depending on the course.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n By proactively seeking a reputable and knowledgeable training provider that offers the exact services you need, you can attend a dangerous goods training program that is tailored to your business needs. For instance, if you ship dangerous goods by ground and air, you can sign up for a <\/span>multimodal training program<\/span><\/a> which covers 49 CFR and IATA regulations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The quality of a dangerous goods online training program depends to a great extent on the course material it covers. Ideally, the course material should cover a minimum of the following information:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What methods of presentation does the dangerous goods training provider offer? Do they provide in-person, instructor-led webinars, as well as online training programs? This is something you need to consider, especially if you have budgetary and\/or time constraints to contend with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Classroom and webinar training programs are instructor-led and are conducted at a specific location at a specific time. Such training sessions are often held at a centralized location that is convenient to a wide range of attendees.\u00a0 Participants are required to physically attend the classroom presentation or webinar and these training sessions are most often designed to provide general information that is common to a wide-array of shippers. This is often an economical option to receive interactive face-to-face training but this option still requires planning and budgeting from a travel standpoint.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Onsite training programs, on the other hand, are usually highly personalized and are held at your specific place of business. The course material is tailored to the specific needs of your organization, which provides many advantages. However, similar to classroom and webinar training programs, onsite training still requires participants to physically attend the course at the determined place and time. These types of training courses also usually come at a premium cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On the contrary, <\/span>Dangerous goods online training programs<\/span><\/a>, do not require your physical presence at all. You can access the course material using your tablet or computer at any time or any place with an internet connection. As such, this is perhaps the most convenient and cost-effective method of obtaining required dangerous goods training. Online dangerous goods training sessions can save you a lot of time and money, since they do not involve any travel costs, instructor fees, or scheduling commitments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Even amidst the COVID-19 crisis, we stand ready to provide essential online training options for hazmat employees on the frontlines of the supply chain.
