WHY DO I NEED TO BE TRAINED?

Periodic Training is mandatory under the DOT, EPA and OSHA Regulations. Additionally, workers must be trained on any regulatory changes affecting their job functions as they become effective. DOT requires training and testing every three years (49 CFR 172.700), EPA requires annual training (40 CFR Part 262 and 265.16) and OSHA requires annual training (29 CFR 1910.38(a), 1910/120(q) and 1910.1200).

Federal law requires all persons engaged in any activity involving hazardous materials, substances, chemicals
and waste to complete an updated training program on the Federal regulations requiring compliance.
