Rail HazMat-DOT Hazardous Material
Instructor Training (Train the Trainer)
The Rail Workers Hazardous Materials Training Program prides itself on providing
the most valuable worker safety training available and most of it is delivered by
peer trainers. A major goal of the Rail Program is to build a nationwide pool of
skilled peer trainers to deliver hazardous materials training at their jobsites, union
meetings, and in their communities.
The DOT-funded Hazardous Materials Instructor Training (HMIT) consists of an 8hour hazardous materials awareness course followed by five days of train-thetrainer instruction, providing participants the skills and knowledge necessary to
deliver hazardous materials training at the local and regional levels.
The funding provides the following student expenses: Air travel, lodging and meals.
In addition, an incentive of $175.00 per day is available to all training participants
of these programs, except those who are able to secure regular pay through their
employer, or are paid union officers.
Programs begin Monday mornings and conclude Saturdays at 1:00 p.m. Students
will be required to travel/arrive on Sundays to meet program start times.
To meet this training need, the Rail Program will conduct the following courses:
April 3-9, 2016
Huntington, WV
May 15-21, 2016
Chicago, IL
