HAZMAT Transportation - Part 6d - Carrier Requirements - Water (IMDG) (US)

It's important that we do everything we can to protect our waters and marine life when transporting hazardous materials by any type of vessel or ship. Take this course to learn about the International Maritime Dangerous Goods, or IMDG, Code, and stowage, inspection and emergency practices you may need to use on the job. This course is ideal for people who offer hazardous materials to be shipped by waterways and for associated carriers. You may take this course alone, but remember to take the entire suite, in order, every 3 years to fulfill the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation, or DOT.
