Dear Mr. Mark Welch:
This is in response to your letter date May 11,1999, requesting clarification on the training requirements the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask whether a shipper is responsible for verifying that a carrier or driver is qualified to transport hazardous materials.
The answer is no. Each hazmat employer must certify that each its hazmat employees have been trained and tested within 90 days of employment as required by 172.704(c) and (d). The responsibility for providing training remains with each hazmat employer. The terms “hazmat employer” and “hazmat employee” are defined in 171.8.
I hope this information is helpful. If we can be of further assistance, please contact us.
Sincerely,
