  2. Why Hazmat Online Training is Important for Rescue Professionals The road and railway lines are considered to be circulatory system of our society that delivers millions of raw materials and commodities to various places every day. Many of such products contain hazardous ingredients that need special labeling, packaging, documentation and transportation. International and US law requires that those who are involved in the handling, packaging and transportation of these ingredients should receive hazardous material transportation training and certification. This is the very training required by the police officials and fire fighters as well. Hazmat online training is essential for rescue professionals as they are often the first on the scene. Types: There are generally three main types of online hazmat training exist, including IATA for international air shipments, IMDG for international ocean shipments, and 49 CFR for domestic US truck, rail, ocean, barge and air shipments. Idyllically, such training should be obtained for all types of transport in order to make the emergency responders ready for anything. Know your materials: One of the first lessons in hazmat online training is to learn about the materials that are hazardous in the first place. First responders are the first to get there at the scene, thus, they are often the first to identify the hazardous material. It is vital to know when you are handling something that calls for a specialized team. Small hazmat conditions can be stemmed by spreading a dry compound over spills or by spraying a protective foam, but in case of more serious contaminants, isolating an area and calling up of a special team may be required. Knowing what substances to look for is the primary step in making that call. Time Frame For employees who are there to handle hazardous materials, training must take place within the time period of 90 days from the starting date of work of the employee. It usually takes 3 to 4 business days for each mode of transport. IMDG ocean training and 49 CFR training must be done in every three years. Similarly, in every two years IATA air training must be done. As compared to initial training re- certification takes less time. It generally gets completed in a day or two. All types of training require the candidate to pass in a written examination for certification. Changing World The world moves pretty fast, and it is necessary for us to keep the pace with it, whether you are a first responder or simply handle hazardous materials as part of your work.
