Need dangerous goods safety awareness for the rest of your team? Our self-paced Dangerous Goods Awareness (Online) course covers DG safety for inductions and refreshers in 60-90 minutes for $130 + GST. It is a lighter alternative and not as comprehensive as this course: staff who handle dangerous goods or prepare DG paperwork and declarations need Dangerous Goods Warehouse & Handling.

By the end of the course attendees will have gained the ability to:

• Understand the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved in the handling and transport of Dangerous Goods
• Gain a working understanding of the legislation and regulatory framework governing Dangerous Goods

The correct labelling and handling of dangerous goods follow strict internationally recognised standards of correct handling, such as the United Nations Globally Harmonised System of Classification (GHS) and Labelling of Chemicals and the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UNRTDG). Handling also follows strict New Zealand-based standards (NZS5433 and the Land Transport Rule: Dangerous Goods 2005, tailored to safe transport of dangerous goods via land or rail).

Certified training providers are available to aid in queries participants may have related to the course, guiding participants in safe practice of tasks related to warehouse handling of dangerous goods cargo. This course can also be adapted to onsite specific scenarios tailored to your workplace.

To be issued the certificate, participants must complete the theory-based assessment during the training session assessing participant knowledge [M|S1] against relevant standards. Assessors must confirm the participants’ ability to demonstrate the correct demonstration of best practice within the given context. The assessment is accounted for within the course day.
