Created specifically for the Department of Transportation's HAZMAT regulation on Handling and Transporting Hazardous Materials, these products provide the information necessary to comply with the regulation's "General Awareness" training requirement.

MARCOM's training products on "DOT HAZMAT General Awareness" focus on employees who handle and transport hazardous materials. The products review a number of topics aimed at making these employees more aware of situations in which they may encounter hazardous chemicals, the nature of the hazards these materials present and how to safely handle hazardous materials.

All of the products... the new "Micro-Learning" and full-length online courses as well as the DVDs and interactive CD courses... discuss topics that are integral to employees' understanding of these issues.

Topics covered include:

• The purpose of DOT hazardous materials regulations in 49 CFR 172.700
  
• The definition of "hazardous materials"
  
• Required employee training
  
• Shipping papers
  
• 24-hour emergency response telephone numbers
