Packing & Shipping Infectious Substances Training

This shipping for infectious substances training course is designed for any employee who performs pre-transportation functions for shipping infectious substances, such as packaging, marking, labeling, completion of shipping papers, or supervises employees who perform these activities. This includes doctors, nurses and other medical professionals and employees at hospitals, colleges, pharmaceutical companies, medical clinics or offices, laboratories, research facilities, or other facilities that have diagnostic specimens or samples containing live cultures of pathogenic organisms.

The U.S. DOT requires all hazmat employees receive general awareness, security awareness, and function-specific training (49 CFR 172.704). Air shippers must also comply with additional regulatory mandates provided in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. With enforcement and fines for non-compliance on the rise, it is critical that shippers of infectious substances are fully trained in the regulations.

This course covers the fundamentals of shipping infectious substances and diagnostic specimens. The course encompasses all of the activities which must be addressed when preparing a hazardous material for shipment. This course has been updated to include recent changes to the regulations, including HM-215D. The course also covers shipments containing dry ice.
