Some samples will be classified as hazardous materials. Individuals shipping these items must comply with the Hazardous Materials Regulations. The regulations require individuals to receive initial training and be retrained at least once every 3 years. This course also covers the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, and is geared towards individuals who sign manifests for shipments of hazardous waste. A brief discussion of shipments to and from Canada is also included. This course is based on the requirements for training as specified in 49 CFR 172 Subpart H, including testing of participants.
