How often is hazmat recurrent training required?

What are the penalties for non-compliance?
Civil penalties range from $1,000 to $81,993 per violation. Criminal penalties can reach $500,000 and 5 years imprisonment for willful violations. Driver disqualification and company Out-of-Service orders are also possible.
