training records representing the other
certificate holder that the person has
satisfactorily completed hazardous ma-
terials training for the specific job
function under the other certificate
holder’s FAA approved hazardous ma-
terial training program under appendix
O of part 121 of this chapter; and
(2) The certificate holder who trained
the person has the same operations
specifications regarding the accept-
ance, handling, and transport of haz-
ardous materials as the certificate
holder using this exception.
(d)
Recurrent hazardous materials
training—Completion date.
A person who
satisfactorily completes recurrent haz-
ardous materials training in the cal-
endar month before, or the calendar
month after, the month in which the
recurrent training is due, is considered
to have taken that training during the
month in which it is due. If the person
completes this training earlier than
the month before it is due, the month
of the completion date becomes his or
her new anniversary month.
(e)
Repair stations.
A certificate hold-
er must ensure that each repair station
performing work for, or on the certifi-
cate holder’s behalf is notified in writ-
ing of the certificate holder’s policies
and operations specification authoriza-
tion permitting or prohibition against
the acceptance, rejection, handling,
storage incidental to transport, and
transportation of hazardous materials,
including company material. This noti-
fication requirement applies only to re-
pair stations that are regulated by 49
CFR parts 171 through 180.
(f)
Certificate holders operating at for-
eign locations.
This exception applies if
a certificate holder operating at a for-
eign location where the country re-
quires the certificate holder to use per-
sons working in that country to load
aircraft. In such a case, the certificate
holder may use those persons even if
they have not been trained in accord-
ance with the certificate holder’s FAA
approved hazardous materials training
program. Those persons, however, must
be under the direct visual supervision
of someone who has successfully com-
pleted the certificate holder’s approved
initial or recurrent hazardous mate-
rials training program in accordance
with this part. This exception applies
only to those persons who load air-
craft.

General requirement.
Each certifi-
cate holder must maintain a record of
all training required by this part re-
ceived within the preceding three years
for each person who performs or di-
rectly supervises a job function speci-
fied in § 135.501(a). The record must be
maintained during the time that the
person performs or directly supervises
any of those job functions, and for 90
days thereafter. These training records
must be kept for direct employees of
the certificate holder, as well as inde-
pendent contractors, subcontractors,
and any other person who performs or
directly supervises these job functions
for the certificate holder.
(b)
Location of records.
The certificate
holder must retain the training records
required by paragraph (a) of this sec-
tion for all initial and recurrent train-
ing received within the preceding 3
years for all persons performing or di-
rectly supervising the job functions

at the location where the trained per-
son performs or directly supervises the
job function specified in § 135.501(a).
Records may be maintained electroni-
cally and provided on location elec-
tronically. When the person ceases to
perform or directly supervise a haz-
ardous materials job function, the cer-
tificate holder must retain the haz-
ardous materials training records for
an additional 90 days and make them
available upon request at the last loca-
tion where the person worked.

tion date;

training materials used to meet the
training requirement;
(4) The name and address of the orga-
nization providing the training; and
