    PrintFDA is offering a one-hour training module, free of charge, to help carriers meet the requirements of FDA’s Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Food Rule (“Sanitary Transportation Rule”).

Training Module

Launch the Online Course

**LMS Administrators:**Download the SCORM Package

The Sanitary Transportation Rule requires rail and motor vehicle carriers covered by the rule to provide food safety training to their personnel engaged in transportation operations. This requirement applies when the carrier and shipper have agreed in a written contract that the carrier is responsible, in whole or in part, for the sanitary conditions during transportation. Such carriers are required to establish and maintain records documenting the training of operations personnel.

Carriers may:

Offer this module to their operations personnel as a means of satisfying the minimum requirements
	Use this module to complement or enhance training they currently offer
	Train their personnel using their own training programs
	Provide training obtained from a third-party vendor or other providerCourse Description

This course is designed to provide basic food safety training to transportation operations personnel. This training module does not describe specific operating procedures and practices. It is intended to complement industry best practices.

After completing this module, carrier personnel will be better able to:

Recognize their responsibilities as specified in the Sanitary Transportation Rule
	Identify potential food safety problems that may occur during food transportation
	Describe common ways to prevent food safety problemsHow do I complete the course?

FDA offers two ways transportation operations personnel can complete the Sanitary Transportation Rule training module:

Carrier personnel can launch the online course directly from this page. At the conclusion of the online module, they will have the opportunity to print a certificate of completion. To ensure the certificate prints properly, participants should enter their names, as they want them to appear, in the designated area of the training. They can follow the instructions at the end of the training to print their certificate.
	If your organization maintains its own Learning Management System (LMS), your administrator can download the course files and import them into your LMS. This allows you to track completion data automatically in your system.**For LMS Administrators:**
