Frequently Asked Questions

Should I take the federal or the California version?
If your employees work in California, choose the California version (Cal/OSHA HazCom, CA Title 22 Hazardous Waste Generator, or Cal/OSHA HAZWOPER Refresher). Those courses cover California's state-specific requirements. For work in other states, choose the federal version, and check whether your state runs an OSHA-approved state plan with additional requirements.
How often is DOT hazmat training required?
New hazmat employees must be trained within 90 days of hire or a job change, and recurrent training is required at least once every three years under 49 CFR 172.704(c). Start with the initial DOT Hazmat Ground Shipper course; after that, the Recurrent course keeps employees current.
Does the DOT course cover air or vessel shipments?
No. Both DOT courses cover highway (ground) shipping only. Air and vessel shipments have additional requirements that are not covered here.
Who needs the HAZWOPER 8-hour refresher?
The refresher is for workers who already hold HAZWOPER certification. OSHA requires 8 hours of refresher training annually to maintain it, and employers need a statement of training for each annual refresher.
What changed in the 2024 HazCom update?
OSHA amended the Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) in 2024 to align with GHS Revision 7, with changes to labels and safety data sheets. Employer compliance dates are November 20, 2026 for substances and May 19, 2028 for mixtures. Both of our HazCom courses cover the update.
How do I get my certificate?
Pass the final exam (70% passing score) and your certificate of completion is emailed to you. The e-mail certificate is free.
Can I register several employees at once?
Yes, but each student must register with their own unique email address so their login and certificate are tied to them. For larger groups, private sessions or in-person training, call (800) 969-3228.
