The increased use of dangerous goods and hazardous chemicals creates greater risk to people, workplaces and the natural environment. Effective controls are therefore required for the handling, storage, loading, off-loading and transportation of these goods.
The course addresses safe handling and storage practices, cargo securing before, during and after transport, the identification and labelling of hazardous chemicals, and the legislation and codes of practice that apply to Dangerous Goods activities.
Qualified-person responsibilities for Dangerous Goods activities
Regulation 277(2) of the National Road Traffic Act requires companies or entities involved in the handling, storage and transportation of Dangerous Goods to have qualified persons responsible for these activities.
