Do you know how to react to these Hazmat Training situations?

Scenario 1: You have recently hired a new employee, Alex, who is undergoing hazmat training for the loading and transport of hazardous materials within state lines. Alex is currently 85 days into training. It’s a Friday afternoon and all your other drivers are currently out on the road. Alex is the only person available when you find out you need important hazardous material transported ASAP.

Question: Can you send Alex to transport this material?

Scenario 2: One of your employees, Cynthia, recently retired after working for your company for over 20 years. It has been four months since Cynthia left the job and you’re now performing a regularly scheduled records review, which includes checking and updating employee training documentation. When you get to Cynthia’s records, you realize she is no longer an employee and so you don’t need her records anymore.

Question: Is it okay for you to purge Cynthia’s HMR-mandated training records?

Do you know how to react to these Hazmat Training situations?: Answers

  1. No. Alex cannot handle the hazmat material unsupervised until his training is complete.

Before a hazmat employee performs any job function subject to the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR), the employee must be trained, tested, and certified. Until training is finished, hazmat employees cannot perform any hazmat function unless directly supervised by a fully trained hazmat employee. Training must be completed in 90 days. Since Alex is 5 days short of being fully trained and has not yet been tested or certified, he needs a fully trained employee to supervise him.

  1. Yes. You no longer need to retain Cynthia’s training records.

The hazmat employer must create and retain a record of current training inclusive of the preceding three years for each hazmat employee. This training record must be maintained for as long as that individual is employed by the employer as a hazmat employee and for 90 days thereafter. Since Cynthia left the company more than 90 days ago, it is okay to purge her training record, but you may still need to retain other records unrelated to hazmat training.
