Labelmaster announced the release of a new online Hazmat General Awareness Training course featuring immersive, virtual experiences. Designed to provide more interactive, real-life training for users, this course delivers hazmat basics in a fun and engaging environment.

The new course features virtual, in-course scenarios where users will have to complete tasks based on what they have learned at key points in the training. The new immersive experiences allow learners to increase confidence and practice skills in several of the most common themes within a Hazmat General Awareness curriculum. Users must:

  • Identify DG items within a virtual breakroom
  • Correctly identify types of DG shipments
  • Properly mark and label a DG package
  • Identify safety and security risks within a virtual warehouse

Developed in partnership with ThinkingKap, the new interactive General Awareness Training course enhances Labelmaster’s industry-leading DG training curriculum by helping organizations better prepare supply chain team members for shipping and handling DG. Now any organization can leverage these best-in-class training methods to train and recertify employees remotely, and be more confident that their supply chain is safe and compliant.

“Shipping DG is highly regulated and can be extremely complex, which is why quality training is critical to properly prepare employees involved in their shipping and handling,” said Rhonda Jessop, director, global learning, Labelmaster. “These new immersive, virtual experiences help strengthen employees’ understanding of the course material by allowing them to practice key DG skills within in a creative, fun and engaging manner, while reinforcing the learning curriculum objectives.”
