This half-day competency-based training provides clarity and understanding on how to safely package and offer for transport Biological Substances, Category B (UN 3373).  This training looks at all the governmental regulations to separate fact from fiction concerning the transport of biological specimens during a global pandemic. 

This training seminar will sort thru the modal and Competent Authority disharmony to answer questions such as:

  • Do P650 packages always require sufficient absorbent material?
  • Do P650 packages containing liquids in primaries greater than 50 ml require orientation arrows on the outer packages?
  • Do some Competent Authorities require P650 packaging to go thru representative prototype testing?
  • Do some Competent Authorities require P650 packaging to be manufactured under a quality management system?
  • Are P650 packages manufactured under a Competent Authorities instructions automatically acceptable by other countries the same way UN specification packaging works? 
  • Do some Competent Authorities allow empty P650 packaging to show the UN3373 diamond?

Training includes:

  • Overview of Dangerous Goods Shipping
  • Classification of both Category A and Category B infectious substances
  • Exempt Patient Specimens – should this even exist during a global pandemic?
  • Category B packaging instructions for both liquids and solids
  • Shipping Infectious Substances with other dangerous goods in the same package
  • P650 manufacturer requirements

Customized Test and certificate for students that successfully pass the customized assessment. Training is presented in accordance with IATA/ICAO, 49 CFR and TDG.

Course Materials: A comprehensive compliance reference and exercise book will be provided.

Depending on the nature of their employment, certain hazmat employees have duties and responsibilities involving more than one mode of transportation. When these responsibilities involve transportation of Limited Quantity dangerous goods by air, ground, and ocean, employers must provide their employees with Limited Quantity training in the applicable modes of transportation before those employees can begin performing their duties and working with the dangerous goods in any capacity.

This Limited Quantity course provides the required initial or recurrent training to participants involved with the shipping, handling, and/or transport of dangerous goods in Limited Quantities by air, by ground, and by ocean. Dangerous goods by air training is based on the current requirements outlined in the ICAO Technical Instructions, as contained in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA DGR), as authorized by Title 49 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR). Limited Quantity training for shipping dangerous goods by ground incorporates the current requirements as outlined in 49 CFR. Limited Quantity training for shipping dangerous goods by ocean incorporates the current requirements as outlined in the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code), as authorized by Title 49 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR). This course complies with the initial and/or recurrent training requirements of 49 CFR Part 172, Subpart H, Section 172.704, the IATA DGR, and the IMDG Code for transportation of Limited Quantities by air, by ground and by ocean.

Limited Quantity Course Objectives

At the end of the course, participants should be able to:

  • Understand the requirements for Limited Quantity training as required by the appropriate national and/or international authorities
  • Properly classify or understand the Limited Quantity classification requirements of substances and articles to the appropriate hazard class
  • Assign or verify the assignment of substances and articles to an appropriate identification name and associated UN number
  • Select or verify the correct packaging for the dangerous goods being shipped and understand applicable packing requirements
  • Select or apply the correct marks and labels for the material being shipped
  • Accurately complete or verify the shipping paper (shipper’s declaration for dangerous goods) requirements for the transport of dangerous goods in Limited Quantities by air and the applicable requirements for an air waybill
  • Accurately complete or verify the shipping paper requirements for the transport of hazardous materials in Limited Quantities by ground
  • Accurately complete or verify the shipping paper requirements for the transport of hazardous materials in Limited Quantities by ocean
  • Understand the requirements for security, safety, and emergency response information as they relate to shipments of dangerous goods in Limited Quantities by air, ground, and ocean as required by the appropriate national and/or international authorities
  • Understand the rules and procedures to be followed for segregation of incompatible dangerous goods

This course will help navigate the ground transport regulations of hazardous materials and waste, as regulated by SCT (Secretary of Communication and Transportation) in Mexico and review the requirements for Mexican NOMS (Official Mexican Standard). The course will also address training requirements from SCT and STPS (Secretary of Labor and Social Security).

All states within Mexico have adopted the NOMS as the regulations for transportation across Mexico. Therefore, these regulations are enforced not only by federal authorities but also by state authorities. If your organization ships hazardous materials between the US and Mexico, this course will help you understand the nuances of compliance with both sets of regulations (Mexican NOMs and 49 CFR) and help keep you in compliance.

This course will include updates of several NOMS made during 2020.

This course will include the differences between the Mexican NOMs and 49 CFR regulations.

The course is taught using a combination of lectures, visual aids, exercises, and question and answer opportunities. Upon successful completion of the course and after passing an exam, students will receive a training certificate.

Prerequisite: General & Security Awareness Training, Familiarity with 49 CFR

Course Materials: A comprehensive compliance reference and exercise book will be provided, along with access to the NOMs. Some of the NOMs documents will be in Spanish, these will just be for reference. The training program and pertinent NOMs will be provided in English. Students will be required to have a copy of the 49 CFR Book (October 1, 2021 Edition) or access the free online e-CFR. See registration page to purchase a book.
