Multimodal DANGEROUS GOODS AWARENESS
Why Dangerous Goods Awareness is Essential
Dangerous goods awareness is critical to ensure the safe handling, transport, and storage of hazardous materials. Even small mistakes can lead to serious accidents, environmental damage, or legal consequences. Awareness training helps prevent incidents by equipping individuals with the knowledge to identify risks and follow safety protocols.
Why Your Efficient Programme Stands Out
Our 4-hour (approx) Dangerous Goods Awareness course is the perfect first step in training, tailored to your company’s needs. Employees gain a clear grasp of essential concepts and regulations, boosting their confidence and chances of success in a full DG course. Ensure compliance and build a safer, smarter team.
Who Legally Needs Dangerous Goods Awareness Training?
Anyone involved in the handling, packaging, documentation, transport, or storage of dangerous goods, including warehouse staff, drivers, shippers, freight forwarders, and office staff involved in the supply chain, may be legally required to complete awareness training under regulations like the IATA DGR, IMDG Code, ADR, or RID, depending on their role and jurisdiction.
