Course outline
Text books (49 CFR).

Limited study of Title 40 CFR and Title 22 CCR as they relate to transportation.

Emphasis on highway transportation of Hazardous Materials/Wastes.

Will cover the Commercial Driver's License primarily as it relates to the Hazardous Materials endorsement.

CH 1: Commercial Driver's License. :30 minutes
Here we will take a brief look at the purpose of, requirements for, classes and endorsements for the California Commercial Driver's License (CDL).

CH 2: Introduction to CFR 49. 1:00 hour
In this lesson you will be introducted to Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations and Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations. This will include a brief history of the regulations, constitutional and statutory authority for the regulations, and the organization of the regulations.

CH 3: Definitions, Hazard Classes. 1:00 hour
This lesson will be broken into 2 parts: definitions of words and phrases except for Hazard Classes; then we will cover Hazard Classes separately. Actually, we will likely not get to Hazard Classes during this session but will pick them up the following week.

CH 4: 172.101 Table. 2:00 hours
Now we begin to get into the real meat of Title 49.

CH 5: Shipping Papers. 2:30 hours
Once the exercises have been discussed to everyones satisfaction we will move onto the subject of Shipping Papers. This will include when shipping papers are required and how to complete them properly. We will also cover the Hazardous Waste Manifest. After the lesson you will be assigned some exercises to complete. The exercise for this chapter are more comprehensive that the previous ones so don't wait til the last minute to begin.These exercises will be submitted but are not graded. They are intended as a learning opportunity and will be discussed at the beginning of the following session. But I will look at the fact that you completed the excercises as demonstrating of your participation in the course.

Mid-Term Examination. (25 questions, multiple choice). 2:00 hours
The mid-term exam can be found in the "Exams" content area. It will be available after we complete the review of the Chapter 5 exercises. It will remain available for 24 hours to accomodated any scheduling conflicts. You may use your student guide, notes, CFR 49 (on-line or hard copy) but do your own work. If you have questions, eMail me. I will try to monitor my eMail on a regular basis during civilized people hours so that I may respond promptly. You can also phone me, also during civilized people hours.

To complete the exam, you simply read the question, select the most appropriate answer, and click on the circle to the left of the answer you like. Be sure to put your name in the box at the top so I will know who took the exam. When completed just click on the "Send Answers" button at the bottom. It should bring up your eMail program. Click send and your answers will be on their way to me. I will grade them as swiftly as I can and should have your score eMailed back to you within a day or two. If you do not hear from me in a day or two, contact me by phone or eMail. Sometimes even eMail gets lost in the mail. This exam will constitute 25% of your course grade.

CH 8: Packaging. 1:00 hour
When we complete the discussion of Placarding requirements, we will move directly into a discussion of Packaging requirements. Packaging is the container that HazMat is put in for transport and storage. It includes bags, boxes, tanks, tank trucks and anything else that can hold HazMat. There are many requirements in the regulations for selecting an appropriate packaging for a given HazMat product. After the discussion there will, of course, be exercises for you to complete. They will be reviewed during the next session.

Pass out work project. :15 minutes
Here I will provide you with the password so you can access the Project PDF on the CD that accompanied this course. Print a copy of the project and complete it on paper. Mail the completed project to me. My mailing address and eMail address are in the "Faculty Information" content area. If you can scan and send it as an eMail attachment, that would be OK as well.

This project will work much like the various exercises that you completed during the course but will be more comprehensive. It will cover everything we have discussed in the course (shipping papers, packaging, labeling, marking, placarding, and loading). The big difference is that this project will be graded. In fact it constitutes half of your course grade. So do it well.]

CH 9: Loading. 1:00 hour
Loading is primarly concerned with HazMat compatibility issues. Some products may not be loaded on the same vehicle with certain other products. Here we will find out how that is determined. We will also consider load restraint and such. Hey, no exercises this time.

CH 10: Accident & Incident. Guidelines 1:00 hour
Not everything goes according to plan. When there are accidents or incidents involving HazMat there are State and Federal reporting requirements that must be met. Here we will discuss the criteria, time factors, and forms involved.

Final Examination. 2:00 hours
The final exam can be found in the "Exams" content area. It will be available after we complete the review of the project (If we are unable to review the project due to someone not submitting theirs we will just go on to the exam). It will remain available for 24 hours to accomodated any scheduling conflicts. You may use your student guide, notes, CFR 49 (on-line or hard copy) but do your own work. If you have questions, eMail me. I will try to monitor my eMail on a regular basis during civilized people hours so that I may respond promptly. You can also phone me, also during civilized people hours.]

To complete the exam, you simply read the question, select the most appropriate answer, and click on the circle to the left of the answer you like. Be sure to put your name in the box at the top so I will know who took the exam. When completed just click on the "Send Answers" button at the bottom. It should bring up your eMail program.
