Are any additional training courses required?

• Hazmat Security Awareness Training (SAT) - In the United States this additional training is required. DGI offers free SAT on our website.
• Function Specific Training - Ultimately (in the United States) your employer has final responsibility for determining if a hazmat employee is properly trained for their particular job function. Since there is a potential for limitless types of job functions as determined by an individual employer, we as your training provider can only suggest what types of additional training might be required.
