Classification and identification are the first and most critical steps to successful hazardous materials / dangerous goods management and transport. Inaccurate identification begins a domino-effect of mistakes that can end in serious injury to employees, carriers, emergency responders, or the general public. If a material has been classified incorrectly, it will typically also be packaged, marked, labeled, and handled incorrectly and may be subject to enforcement and/or penalties. This course satisfies the initial and recurrent function-specific training under the DOT, ICAO/IATA, IMDG Code, and ADR for individuals performing any classification and identification activities.

Course Materials: Students will receive a course workbook package. Students will be required to have a current copy of the IATA (Edition 65), 49 CFR (October 1, 2023 Edition or access to the online e-CFR), IMDG (Amd. 41-22) regulations, and the ADR 2023 (or access to the online ADR).

This course will help navigate the ground transport regulations of hazardous materials and waste, as regulated by SICT (Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation) in Mexico and review the requirements for Mexican NOMs (Official Mexican Standard). The course will also address training requirements from SICT 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 2023.

 

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 translation of the applicable NOMs in PDF file will be provided as well as participants booklet with practical exercises. Students will be required to have a current copy of the 49 CFR (October 1, 2023) book or access to the online e-CFR. See registration page to purchase a book.
