Driver (CDL) - Security Training

Each HAZMAT employee of a company required to have a security plan, who handles, performs a regulated function related to, or implements the security plan, must receive in-depth training that provides an awareness of the security risks associated with HAZMAT transportation and methods to enhance transportation security. At a minimum, the training must cover the following topics:

• Company security objectives
• Specific security procedures
• Employee responsibilities
• Action to be taken when a breach occurs
• Organizational security structure

It is the responsibility of the employer to provide security training and testing on the required training subjects. The HMR does not set testing methods or standards. The test can be written, verbal, or performance-based. The employer must create a training record for each employee and retain it for 90 days after the employee is no longer employed at the company.
