Air Dangerous
Goods Training

Training must be specific to your company’s operations. If an auditor finds that your training is too generic and does not address your actual job functions, it may not be accepted. Employers are responsible for ensuring employees receive training tailored to their hazmat duties. Please review all of the course objectives for this course to ensure it is a fit for your operation.

These courses are designed to meet U.S. 49-CFR requirements, and teach to the functions required to accept, process and handle dangerous goods by air. For certification in Canada click here. For those outside of Canada and the United States, check with your state authority to ensure TraversEd meets standards.

In addition to the completion of this training, the employer should set up a framework at their organization where trained and experienced DG personnel administer on-the-job training (job shadowing, ongoing coaching).

Employer should sign the certificate of completion and keep records on all training provided. Employer should keep all required records in case of an audit by the DOT.

As TraversEd will not retain records of completion, the employer should keep a record of the TraversEd certificate that includes the dates, times and descriptions of the training provided to their employees. These records may be requested in an audit by the DOT and include:

• Training certificates with your name, course details, provider, and completion date
• Training materials (manuals, slides, handouts) – available only on request with a pending audit
• Testing results
• Employer certification verifying you’ve been trained for your job functions.

It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that this training is accepted by their national authority, and that they are compliant. This course validity is dependent on meeting national regulatory requirements. We suggest that you confirm this in advance.
