The Dangerous Goods Driver Licence course provides
information necessary to satisfy the requirements
of the various state authorities toward the issue of a "Licence to Drive Dangerous Goods".
The
course is based on the seventh edition of the Australian Code for the
transport of Dangerous Goods by Road & Rail (ADG7). It is designed
specifically to meet the needs and interests of the participants, and
is delivered in a manner that ensures high levels of interest and
retention.
The course content includes identification and handling of Dangerous Goods, safety
precautions and equipment, and compliance with the applicable legal requirements.
The Dangerous Goods Road Transport - Driver Licence course is customised specifically to meet the needs and
interests of the participants, but still ensures the requirements of the regulatory authorities are met.
It is delivered as a public course at several comfortable training
locations, or can be provided "In - House" at client premises when
desired.
It also satisfies part of the requirement for Waste Transport certification.
The theory component of the Australian Institute of Petroleum
certification can also be undertaken as part of this course by prior
arrangement.
As the Regulations are recent, the initial accreditation course and
the refresher course are identical.
The issue of a Driver Licence may vary in duration from one
jurisdiction to another (some are for 5 years, some are for 3 years -
some include the carriage of Infectious Substances, some do not).
Issue of a Licence is also subject to meeting age, medical health, safe driver record requirements.
Transport of Security Sensitive chemicals will require the driver to pass Police / ASIO checks.
