A Combined Course for DOT Hazmat and California Title 22 Certification
Both the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) and the California state government have laws in place to regulate the transportation and accumulation of hazardous materials and waste. These regulations help ensure hazardous materials are handled properly and moved from place to place as safely as possible to prevent harm to workers, the public and the environment.
Companies and organizations that generate or transport hazardous waste must comply with federal and state regulations or risk hefty fines. Employees who work for such companies and organizations must receive training in order to maintain compliance. This training includes information about the identification of hazardous waste, contingency plan implementation, signing off on waste manifests and more.
Essentially, if your job involves transporting hazardous waste even if it is just to sign off on the waste manifest, you’ll likely need to take a course that meets DOT Hazmat and California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22 regulations.
To make training more convenient for employers and workers, Hazmat School offers a combined online training and certification course, which takes only eight hours to complete. When you complete this course and pass the exam at the end, you’ll receive your certificate, so you can get to work.
The combined DOT/Title 22 course comes in two parts, each designed to fulfill certain regulatory requirements. Here’s what you can expect in each part of the training.
PART ONE — TITLE 22 HAZARDOUS WASTE COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The state of California has its own laws in place to regulate hazardous waste generators. Part one of this course deals with the hazardous waste regulations found in sections of CCR Title 22: 66262.34 and 66265.16. The structure and objectives of this section are based on compliance with the California Hazardous Waste regulations.
When you complete part one of this course, you’ll be able to:
- Define hazardous waste.
- Understand the background and need for hazardous waste regulations.

Parts 171 through 177 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) contain rules for the compatibility, packaging and shipping of hazardous materials.
In part two of your online course, you’ll learn more about DOT Hazmat regulations. Each unit is based on one or more of the following requirements. Upon completion of this program, you will have:

Industries That Require This Course
Hazardous waste is produced as a byproduct in a wide range of industries, from mining and petroleum refining to chemical manufacturing and metal fabrication. Even small businesses are capable of producing significant hazardous waste. Because many industries are directly or indirectly involved with hazardous waste, many workers require hazardous waste certification in California.
A hazardous waste generator is defined as anyone who produces hazardous waste or engages in activities that bring hazardous waste under regulation. Regardless of what industry you work in, you may need hazardous waste training if you work for one of these types of generators:
- Large quantity generators (LQGs): These generators produce at least 1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste onsite every month.
- Small quantity generators (SQGs): These generators produce below 1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste onsite each month. To remain classified as SQGs, they must also produce less than one kilogram of acutely hazardous waste.
