TNT asked you for your training certificate ?

It is a legal requirement that any persons whose duties concern the carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road, Sea or Air shall have received training in the requirements governing the carriage of such goods appropriate to their duties.

This is a very broad requirement that encompasses such personnel employed by the road vehicle operator or the consignor.

Forklift truck drivers, warehousemen who load or unload dangerous goods, and also staff in freight forwarding or shipping agency offices and drivers of vehicles up to 3.5t GVW are included.

The training covers basic theory of hazard classes, documentation, PPE and transport requirements. Generally, training is given over one day and is modified to suit each business or individual. If required we can also incorporate the requirements for using UK toll tunnels (Dartford, Tyne and Mersey) or the Eurotunnel freight services.

All courses also now include the mandatory  introduction to Dangerous Goods security issues. Click HERE for more details.

Some of the topics we've recently covered include Clinical & Pharmaceutical wastes, Flammable liquids in Bowsers, Container packing, pharmaceuticals by sea and air, and Spillage Response.

At the end of the course, certificates of attendance are issued for inclusion in your staff training files.

We are also pleased to offer awareness training for personnel dealing with dangerous goods by both sea or air, again a legal requirement. Contact us for full details.
