Description

The safe handling of dangerous goods can depend upon those at management and operational level having a proper appreciation of the risks associated with these hazardous cargoes.

This course provides the essential knowledge required by those at management and operational level, involved in planning stowage, handling and transporting dangerous goods in solid form. It will also help learners to maintain safe and effective cargo operations by identifying safe procedures and best practice to be adopted, highlighting the risks and dangers associated with the carriage of certain bulk cargoes. The course covers general dangerous goods safety awareness and emergency response to incidents involving solid bulk cargoes.
