bers that design or sign off on hazmat packaging specifi- cations with your customers. Your Group 3 team members must understand box construction standards, size, limited quantity requirements, exemption, or special permit autho- rization requirements. Group 3 employees should partici- pate in all three training videos and tests. This general awareness and function-specific training used in tandem with your plant’s existing safety and se- curity training with just some minor security recommenda- tions will cover the USDOTs hazmat training requirements for the next three years. Don’t forget that you have 90 days to complete training for all new hazmat employees, including temporary and contract workers. Just order the hazmat training program, have your team members watch the training videos, take the test(s), go over the correct answers, and fill out the sign-in sheet. The tests offered by FBA make an excellent hard copy or digital document for your records. Be sure to keep the training records handy with HR, the Quality Manager, or EHS professional, just as long as you have easy access to the documents if the DOT makes a house call. We’ve provided the training videos, tests, and sign-in sheets; you just need to bring some pens and snacks! Chase Kammerer is the Manager of Technical Services at Fibre Box Association (FBA). You can reach him directly at ckammerer@fibrebox.org.
