Our 16-hour course is divided into two 8-hour classes. During the first day of class, our instructor will go through different examples of products that are considered hazmat as well as hazmat classifications.
During the second day, we have a “hands on training method” that enables our students to put into practice everything they learned during the first day of class.
At Commercial Driver School, students will learn about:
- Different kinds of hazards spills and classifications
- Required shipping paperwork, packaging and labeling
- The proper way to secure the area of a small-scale spill
