Key Points to Remember

• Even if you have employees that only "move drums" on and off trucks that come and go from your facility - they still require training.

• If you prepare shipping documents (manifests or bills of lading) you will require our full day DOT program

• If you ship samples by air - IATA training is required (DOT training is a prerequisite)

• If you prepare shipments by vessel (boat) IMDG training is what you are looking for
