Materials of Trade (MOT) Training explains the rules for transporting small quantities of hazardous materials that are carried on vehicles for job-related tasks. Under DOT 49 CFR §173.6, certain materials can be moved without full Hazmat requirements, but only when specific quantity limits, packaging rules, and marking guidelines are followed. This training helps workers understand what qualifies as MOT, how to secure containers, and how to prevent leaks or violations.
This training exists to avoid transportation citations, reduce spill risks, and ensure compliance during routine job operations.
