The "DOT HAZMAT General Awareness” Employee Booklet focuses on employees who handle hazardous materials.

The Booklet reviews a number of topics aimed at making these employees more aware of situations in which they may encounter hazardous chemicals... and the nature of the hazards the chemicals may have. Created specifically for the Department of Transportation's HAZMAT Training regulation on Handling and Transporting Hazardous Materials, this Booklet provides the information necessary to comply with the regulation's "General Awareness" training requirement. (While this Booklet can be used by itself, it can also be used as a companion product to the DOT HAZMAT "Safety Training" Booklet).

The Employee Booklet includes information on the regulation itself, hazardous materials, definitions and classes, hazard communication, hazard "indicators" such as labels, shipping papers and placards, where hazardous materials may be encountered, packaging, shipping, transport (trucks, ships, rail, etc.), storage, and more. The Employee Booklet features text, illustrations and a Quiz, and is 16 pages in length. Booklets are available in packages of 15.
