What is the difference between webinar and online training? Webinars are instructor led and completed in 1 day. Online training is taken on your own, and you have 3 months to complete.

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.
  • We recommend that persons shipping the following substance get additional training:
    • Radioactive Materials
    • Toxic Gases (additional DOT requirements)
    • Toxic Inhalation Hazard
    • Packaging of Explosives (additional DOT requirements)
