Introducing Our New 49 CFR Training Course — Hazardous Goods Compliance in the USA

The transport of hazardous materials within the United States comes with its own set of regulatory requirements that differ from international rules like ADR, IMDG and ICAO/IATA. At the heart of U.S. hazmat regulation is 49 CFR. Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations governs the domestic carriage of hazardous goods by ground, air, railroad and sea under U.S. law.

To help logistics professionals, shippers, carriers and freight forwarders in Europe better understand and comply with these rules, we’re excited to launch our 49 CFR Training Course:

Carriage of Hazardous Goods in the USA

Why 49 CFR Matters

49 CFR sets out the legal framework for transporting dangerous goods (referred to as Hazmat) within the USA, covering everything from classification and packaging to labelling, documentation and training requirements. These regulations are enforced by the USA Department of Transportation (DOT), the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) and the US Coastguard.

For organisations operating outside of the USA, and moving goods through the country, understanding 49 CFR is essential.

What This Course Covers

Delivered live online in European time-zones by a U.S.-based expert from our partner Dangerous Goods International, this two-day training course will give delegates the knowledge and confidence to:

• Navigate and interpret 49 CFR requirements across all modes of transport.

• Correctly pack and document hazardous goods under 49 CFR regulations

• Understand key concepts such as NA numbers, reportable quantities (RQ), toxic by inhalation (TIH) and combustible liquids.

• Recognise the differences in terminology and enforcement between 49 CFR and other global regulations.

Our course fee also includes a copy of the 49 CFR Regulations for use in your organisation, and successful delegates will receive a certificate valid for three years.

This course is ideal for:

• Shippers and consignors operating in or with the U.S. market

Whether you’re an existing shipper familiar with U.S hazmat rules, or planning an expansion for your company, this course will equip you with practical training to effectively comply with the 49 CFR regulations. This will in turn help you to ensure your goods move as fast and efficiently as possible from A to B within the USA.
