Online dangerous goods training & GSAT

This page is an online training course run by Logistics UK. The course is called Introduction to Dangerous Goods by Air, Road and Sea, Overview for Management Staff. It gives a general view of the dangerous goods rules.

The course is meant to raise awareness of the risks of moving dangerous goods by air, road and sea. It explains that many everyday items can become dangerous if they are not classified, packed, labelled or handled correctly. It says that failures have led to serious accidents and large fines for companies and people. The legal duties are explained in plain language.

The course is taken fully online and takes about one hour. It ends with a multiple choice test. Learners who pass can print a certificate straight away. The topics include legal duties, why goods are classified, packed and labelled, hidden dangerous goods, packing risks, documents, and what training may be needed next.

The course is for directors, managers, supervisors, packing and production staff, warehouse and logistics workers, delivery drivers and laboratory staff. It also suits anyone who handles, packs, moves or manages dangerous goods. The site says it works well as an induction or a refresher. It notes that some staff groups may need more training.
