Does a Commercial Drivers License (CDL) with a hazmat endorsement satisfy the training requirements under the HMR?

0

A. Compliance with requirements for a CDL with a hazardous materials endorsement provides a driver with the general knowledge and skills necessary to safely operate a commercial motor vehicle with hazardous materials cargo and may satisfy some of the training requirements of the HMR (see §§ 172.704 and § 177.816). Additional training may be required based on the job function and material-specific requirements related to the handling of hazardous materials (i.e., operation of emergency valves, cargo tank specification requirements, security awareness, etc.). It remains the responsibility of a hazmat employer to determine the extent to which the CDL hazmat endorsement satisfies the training requirements of the HMR. Do the HMR training regulations apply to foreign flag vessels carrying hazardous materials? A. Yes, the regulations apply to each domestic and foreign vessel when in navigable waters of the United States. Do the HMR training regulations apply to a hazmat employer and employees
