Probably.

>2. Were is this defined if true?

49 CFR 171.8 defines a hazmat employee, specifically someone who directly
affects transporation safety of hazardous materials in the regular course of
their job.

49 CFR 172.700-704 defines the training to be provided to hazmat employees
(HM-126F).

Dunno about shipping to Barnwell, but I bet you can either demonstrate that
you know enough to meet the training requirements of HM-126F or you can go
to a local training provider (it would be a community college here in
Colorado) and get a one-day HM-126F class that will probably not meet the
strict requirement of HM-126F (which is that the trzining be specific to the
task at hand...).

Hope this helps.
