Compliance Training
DOT Hazmat Training
TEN-E provides DOT hazmat training through seminars and online courses to help hazardous materials shippers stay compliant.
If your team touches hazmat packaging, federal law applies.
Federal regulations under Title 49 CFR Part 172, Subpart H apply to any employee who designs, represents, modifies, repairs, marks, manufactures, prepares, reconditions, tests, or ships hazardous materials packaging.
Initial training is required within 90 days of employment or a change in job function. Recurrent training is required every three years thereafter.
Completing qualified training with a credentialed provider establishes documented compliance and keeps your team current with regulatory changes.
90 days to complete initial training after hire or a change in job function.
3 years maximum before recurrent training is required.
Civil and criminal penalties up to $50,000 per violation apply to companies that fail to meet DOT training requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
TEN-E’s training seminar is designed to satisfy the recurrent training requirement under Title 49 CFR Part 172, Subpart H. Attendees who complete the two-day program receive documentation of completion. Retaining records of completed training is a regulatory requirement under Part 172.704(d) — employers must keep training records for each hazmat employee for as long as the employee remains in the job function, plus 90 days after leaving.
Any employee with hazardous materials packaging responsibilities qualifies as a hazmat employee under Title 49 CFR and requires training. Attendees typically include packaging engineers, quality and safety managers, logistics coordinators, shipping supervisors, and anyone who prepares, marks, or certifies hazardous materials packaging for transport.
