Transport of dangerous goods (ADR)
Two days to dispatch, pack, load and have dangerous goods transported under ADR, the agreement on the international carriage of dangerous goods by road. Classification, packaging, labelling, documents, vehicle marking, loading and exemptions are practised using the safety data sheets of your own products. The workshop prepares the dispatch of a real consignment from your site, from classification to the departure check.

Frequently asked questions
Who should attend this course?
People who classify, pack, label, load or dispatch dangerous goods: warehouse operatives, dock staff, logistics and transport managers, and buyers of transport services who must check what they entrust to the carrier.
Can drivers attend?
Yes, to understand the obligations of the consignor and the loader. But it does not give the certificate required of drivers of vehicles carrying dangerous goods, which requires specific training and an examination.
Are our products concerned?
The transport section of the safety data sheet indicates this. Send us before the session the SDS of the products you ship or receive: the classification exercises will be based on them.
For small quantities, do all the rules apply?
Not always. ADR provides relief for limited quantities, excepted quantities and small quantities per transport unit. The course teaches how to check whether these reliefs apply and what remains mandatory.
