DOT regulations apply to virtually everyone when Hazardous Materials are transported.
All amounts are per occurrence per day.
However, government employees are not exempt . All commercial entities and their employees are subject to the regulations and both companies and individuals have been punished under the civil and criminal sections of the code. Neither the regulation nor DOT specifies courses, schools, instructors or methods of delivery. The burden rests with the Hazmat shipper to determine the sufficiency of training provided to their employees. Mandated areas are General Awareness, Safety, and Function Specific training.
