COURSE OVERVIEW

The transportation or transporting of Dangerous Goods is a complicated process. It is often taken for granted in the overall “safety training” discussion. Think about it this way; you offer or send out a product that can pose a risk to the safety of drivers, flight crew, dock workers, rail workers, all handlers, receivers, and employees in general. The product is packaged incorrectly as per regulations.

These regulations are developed worldwide by experts that study and test packaging for the safe movement of hazards. You do not package to the applicable standard due to the lack of proper training, understanding of regulations, or just negligence. The dangerous good now leaks or releases out of a vehicle, aircraft, vessel, or train. This unique training course on Transportation of Dangerous Goods covers discussion of critical areas of safe handling and transportation by air, sea, rail, and road.
