This state-level exam is required for drivers transporting materials that require placarding under the Department of Transportation hazardous materials regulations 49 CFR.<\/p>\n<p>To obtain an HME, a driver must pass mandatory training and tests to transport all classes of hazardous materials.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about a Canadian driver?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Canada, there is no specific certification required to ship dangerous goods. Drivers who wish to haul dangerous goods must obtain their Dangerous Goods Training Certificate, as outlined in Part 6 of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations.<\/p>\n<p>What does that mean for drivers who transport hazardous materials cross-border?<\/p>\n<p>The United States will accept a Canadian driver\u2019s training certificate in lieu of a HazMat endorsement.<\/p>\n<p>Canada will accept the Hazmat endorsement on the commercial driver\u2019s license, a copy of the certification for training from the 49 CFR Part 172.700, or a Canadian training certificate issued under Part 6 of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Applicants interested in obtaining their hazardous materials endorsement can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsa.gov\/for-industry\/hazmat-endorsement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">apply online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>ICC is passionate about keeping us all safe when handling, storing, manufacturing, or transporting dangerous goods.
