[Histonet] Transport training for formalin fixed specimens

I would think it would have more to do with OSHA than CDC - this could involve several modules.  

We have modules that cover the following - this is not all that we train on.  If you are a small business OSHA can help out.  We have utilized their services with a voluntary compliance audit.  We were referred to the Chemical Hygiene Officer at the local university and they helped us out.

*	Formaldehyde Awareness
*	General Safety Awareness 
*	Hazard Communication
*	Laboratory & Chemical Hygiene

Subject: [Histonet] Transport training for formalin fixed specimens

Okay, is there a training course for just transportion formalin fixed specimens.  CAP told me last year that anyone picking up specimens for us has to go through a training course.  The inspector seemed to be more concerned with the employees knowledge of formalin and possible spills.
So, does anyone know what course I am suppose to be using?
 I have looked on the CDC website, but all the courses I find refer to specific infectious disease.
Thanks in advance.
