CARRIAGE
OF DANGEROUS GOODS BY ROAD & SEA
(2 days)
International
traffic to and from the UK always travels by two methods of transport;
so most people need to consult two sets of regulations. There are
differences between ADR (road) and IMDG (sea), and some people need
more detail than others do. We therefore offer the road and sea
courses separately for those that need a detailed knowledge and
a combined course for those that want an overview of both modes.
With the explosions and
fire on the Hyundai Fortune in mind which many experts believe was
caused by dangerous goods, we look at this specific incident and
try to draw lessons from the information available.
Course contents:
- Introduction to the Regulations
- Hazard Classes
- Packing Groups
- ADR
- IMDG
- Limited Quantities
- Marking and labelling
- Documentation
- Channel Tunnel
At the end
of the course, delegates will be able to:
- Understand the legal framework for the carriage of dangerous
goods
- Identify the nine hazard classes and three packing groups
- Locate basic information in ADR & IMDG manuals
- Understand how to mark and label a consignment of dangerous
goods
- Complete a basic dangerous goods note
- Appreciate the requirements relating to vehicles and drivers
carrying dangerous goods by road.
