Further information
The course is also designed to fulfil the theoretical requirements of function-specific and safety training, as detailed in the IMDG Code Chapter 1.3, for those preparing and offering dangerous goods for transport via sea.
However, because all operations are different, we can not verify the competency of employees, which we recommend should be monitored or verified by the employer.
We also have more detailed function-specific courses available to compliment this training, such as 'how to complete a DGN' and 'how to pack dangerous goods'.
