Distance Learning: July 30, August 1, August 6, and August 8, 2019
< p>Course DescriptionThis updated course covers DOT, IATA/ICAO (air transport) and the IMDG Code (ocean transport). The course combines lectures with classroom problem-solving and practical workshops. T he curriculum focuses on the principles and practices of classifying, marki ng and labeling hazardous materials/dangerous goods. The successful complet ion of this 16-hour multi-modal course will meet the requirements for initi al and recurrent training under the DOT, IATA/ICAO and the IMDG Code for in dividuals involved in the classification of hazardous materials/dangerous g oods. While the main emphasis of the course will be classification and assi gnment of shipping descriptions, additional topics covered will be packagin g, marking, labeling and placarding of hazardous materials shipments. This course is specifically designed for the hazard communicator. Classification is always the first and most important of the “Shipper’s responsibilities. ” It dictates all other elements for compliance with the hazardous material s/dangerous goods regulations from shipping name selection to packaging, ma rking, labeling, documentation, and placarding. In this course, students wi ll learn, via lectures, problems and examples, a systematic approach to eva luating physical, chemical and toxicological properties of compounds, mixtu res and solutions. The resultant hazard determination leads to identificati on of the primary and subsidiary hazard class/ division and packing group. Reliable reference sources of relevant technical data will be identified an d discussed. Hazard Classes 2-6 and 8-9 will be covered in detail. Explosiv es (Class 1) and Radioactive (Class 7) will not be covered in any detail. W e recommend specialized courses for these hazard classes. Emphasis will be placed on hazard class definitions (including the UN/IMDG criteria for Mari ne Pollutants), tests and criteria, the Hazardous Materials Table and Dange rous Goods Lists, shipping name selection, packing group assignments, hiera rchy of hazards and subsidiary hazards. Other topics covered will include r ecent changes in the regulations, marine pollutants, hazardous substances, elevated temperature materials and hazardous wastes. A brief overview of pa ckaging, marking, labeling documentation, and placarding will be presented. Workshops will focus on classification examples for each class/division an d selection of proper shipping names. A test will be administered at the en d of the course and students who pass the test will be awarded a certificat e that documents the successful completion of the course.
